KT News

This March (2024), members of the ASTP team participated in the second ambassadors' meeting of European project RM Roadmap Project.

This EU-funded initiative driven by our partner EARMA (European Association of Research Managers and Administrators) with an ambitious goal: to create a roadmap for the future of research management (RM) in Europe, while establishing a supportive community for its successful delivery.

At the heart of this project, ambassadors, both national and thematic, play a pivotal role. Through several co-creation sessions, they engage their communities, gather data and feedback, and report on the current RM landscape in Europe, including challenges and suggestions for improvements.

We believe it is crucial for the voice of technology transfer professionals to be heard within this unique project! Want to get involved? Then we encourage you to join the next co-creation session, scheduled from 14 March to 28 March 2024. This session will focus on defining terminology for RM professionals and discussing relevant skills and competencies across various job categories within the RM fields, making it a great opportunity to raise awareness about the technology transfer professions!

Participating is simple: register on the co-creation platform here and join the discussion. If you are a KT professional working in Germany, France, Bulgaria, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Romania, and the UK, we strongly encourage you to o contribute by answering the following survey here, which will remain open until May.

We also invite you to discover the outcomes of the first co-creation exercise here.
