RitrainPlus November Events: project management and tools for Research Infrastructure efficiency

Eleventh CoP meeting

The RitrainPlus project is organising a Knowledge Exchange Workshop, and a Community of Practice meeting, both taking place this November.

RitrainPlus aims to bring together research infrastructures, core facilities, business management schools and European universities, in an innovative collaboration designed to transform the access and empowerment of human resources.

European research infrastructures and core facilities will benefit from the RitrainPlus skill-base, helping to drive their professionalisation, efficiency and long-term value creation.

Knowledge Exchange Workshop:

Organised jointly by ICOS and ACTRIS, the online workshop is dedicated to the management of a portfolio of European projects at 360 degrees. 

This event is open to all scientific disciplines, and it is organised in three independent sessions on 14, 15 and 29 November. Participants can register for one or more of the sessions, depending on their interest. 

The three sessions will cover essential topics: Session 1 focuses on methods for identifying emerging themes and assessing project portfolios; Session 2 addresses practical strategies for managing multiple projects simultaneously; and Session 3 explores ways to ensure the sustainability and long-term legacy of projects.

Please note that space is limited, and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Next CoP online meeting: Technical Tools to improve the efficiency of RIs staff

The second event organised by the Ritrain Plus consortium is part of a series of meetings dedicated to the project’s Community of Practice (registrations can be done through this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ritrainplus).

This is the 11th online meeting of the community, dedicated to research infrastructure staff, and it will take place on 15 November, from 12:00 to 13:30. Cristina Huertas-Olivares (International Initiatives & Projects Manager) and Joaquin Lopez Lerida (Data e-Science Management Plan & BlockChain Officer), both from the LifeWatch ERIC Statutory Seat and ICT-Core offices in Spain, will moderate and present during the session. 

The goal of the meeting is to promote the efficiency of distributed Research Infrastructures, which often face the challenge of managing multiple tasks, while collaborating remotely with colleagues. The session has the advantage of being highly practical: attendants will be presented with a suite of digital tools to enhance their daily workflow.
