INORMS 2023 Study Tour: Global Challenges in an RMA perspective
In conjunction with the INORMS 2023 Congress in Durban South Africa, 30th May-2nd June 2023, EARMA, SARIMA, and DARMA have arranged a pre-congress study tour to outstanding research institutions of Southern Africa.
The professional theme of the tour is Global Challenges, Innovation and Research Impact. The aim is to get a better understanding of global challenges and perspectives in Research Management and Administration; to establish links with colleagues in Southern Africa; to expand the knowledge about and potential of research in Southern Africa from the research support side; strengthen the awareness of SDG and the need for increased global collaboration, establish an insight in the innovative research and innovation environments in Southern Africa. We will visit universities, meet research intensive companies with focus on innovation, and participate in meeting and seminars with colleagues regionally. Comments and questions are welcome.
The impact of the study tour is to ensure mutual benefit for the participating members and the host institutions through building better understanding of mutual strengths and opportunities and stronger relations between research administrators to enhance international research collaboration and remove administrative barriers for research mobility.
Planning committee:
- Jan Andersen, Senior executive advisor, University of Southern Denmark, EARMA and DARMA.
- Nelisha Naidoo, General Manager, SARIMA
- Tanya Schmidt, Conference Partner
- Johanna Roodt EARMA
