RM Comp, the European Competence Framework for Research Managers started working

This new important tool has been developed by the EU-funded projects CARDEA and RM ROADMAP in close collaboration with the European Commission and relevant stakeholders to identify, assess and develop the key skills and competencies needed for effective research management and foster career development.

The tool will support research managers by: 

• empowering professionals in their career development 
• ensuring consistency across roles and institutions
• helping organisations align their practices with European standards

Who can benefit from RM Comp?

• Research Managers (Individuals): Whether early-career or advanced, RM Comp helps identify career paths, skill gaps and training needs. 
• Institutions: Public and private research performing organisations employing research managers, aiming to standardise practices and enable staff development. 
• Research Funding Bodies and Policy advisors: Ensures consistency of funding policies, promotes capacity building and facilitates collaboration across sectors.
