Induction
5 September 2019, London
The aim of the workshop is to provide research administrators who are new to role with a broad overview of key aspects of the research administration role. Most importantly the workshop will provide research administrators with an appreciation of the context they work in, both in terms of national research policy and how their role fits within their own institution. Learning outcomes include knowing how you fit in the research lifecycle and who you need to work with to get the job done, gaining a broad overview of the key aspects of the research administration role and gaining the understanding to be able to define ‘research’ and differentiate it from ‘consultancy’.
