RM ROADMAP survey dataset and codebook

This RM Roadmap survey aims to gather a comprehensive picture of the current situation of Research Managers (RMs) across Europe. In our understanding, the term RMs covers a wide range of experts at different professional levels bearing specific knowledge:

• to streamline/facilitate the planning, the development, management, administration, communication and valorisation of research and innovation,
• to ensure compliance with policy objectives, funding programme requirements, financial rules and legal regulations,
• to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of R&I projects/system, and/or
• to enhance the impact of R&I on the society.

The reuslts of this survey will support setting of further goals, namely, the formulation of recommendations:

• on an inclusive definition and terminology including RM professional categories;
• on an RM career development framework;
• on an RM skill and competence matrix; as well as
• on a future RM training scheme.
