The Programme in Research Infrastructure Management Fundamentals to strengthen the Ukrainian Research Infrastructures
The Programme in Research Infrastructure Management Fundamentals has been developed within the RIFF project to strengthen the managerial capacity of Ukrainian Research Infrastructures. It provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to establish, develop, and manage Research Infrastructures in accordance with European standards and best practices.
The Programme is delivered in English and consists of two learning components:
- an Online learning pathway, open to all participants, comprising self-paced modules, live webinars, and a final assessment leading to the Certificate;
- a series of Hands-on Workshops that provide advanced practical learning for a limited number of participants selected from among the selected based on their active and consistent engagement with the Online Learning Pathway.
Target participants
The Programme is designed for current and future leaders of Ukrainian Research Infrastructures across all scientific domains. The Programme welcomes participants from Research Infrastructures at different stages of development, including both emerging national facilities and well-established infrastructures seeking to strengthen their managerial capacity and integration within the European Research Area.
Learning Format
The Online Learning Pathway is delivered over a six-month period, January–June 2027, and combines flexible self-paced learning with regular live webinars. This approach enables participants to progress through the curriculum at their own pace while benefiting from interaction with European and Ukrainian Research Infrastructure experts throughout the programme.
All live webinars will be recorded and made available through the online learning platform for participants who are unable to attend the live sessions.
Participants are expected to dedicate approximately 2–4 hours per week to self-paced learning throughout the Online Learning Pathway.
