Strategy development course 2011
DARMA now offers a workshop on strategic issues in research administration and management for the second time.
The speakers at the workshop will make short presentations as a starting point for discussions and sharing of experience among the participants. A case will be used to work with strategic issues on a practical level.
The workshop focuses on strategic issues from the macro to the micro level.
The course has been developed in cooperation with research managers nationally and internationally and will be taught in English.
