RM Framework (project funded by Horizon Europe and the NRDI Fund)

The RM FRAMEWORK project aims to support the development of an European qualification system for research management (RM), enhancing interoperability and improving RM within the European Research Area (ERA). The Framework is designed to guide policy makers, training and networking providers in empowering individual research managers through standardised professional development programmes. By offering a common framework yet maintaining a flexible approach, the project acknowledges the local and national differences across Europe and aims to develop training that raises awareness, improves quality, and supports sustainable RM careers.

This initiative involves 16 organisations from ten countries (Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain), supported by an extensive network of European and national RM organisations. Coordination is ensured by EARMA, the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators.

The Corvinus University of Budapest will participate in the project by adapting and pilot testing its research management courses at three levels (undergraduate, master’s and executive programme) to the framework developed in the project and by contributing to the development of

the quality label scheme. The project will start on February 1, 2025, with a duration of 24 months. The implementation is supported by the Institute of Global Studies, the Institute for Enterprise and Innovation, the Centre for Educational Quality Development and Methodology and the Centre for Grant and Project Management.
