MCAA Research Management Working Group reposted this
📰 Marta Agostinho, EU-LIFE Executive Director, talked to Science Business about our recent report 'Insights & recommendations on the role of #ProjectManagers in collaborative #MSCA projects', published in collaboration with the Marie Curie Alumni Association and the MCAA Research Management Working Group ⬇️ 🎙️ “Project managers are not a burden; they are an added value. What we were trying to show is that they do more than complying and writing reports,” says Marta. “If we do not take care of these professionals, they will leave. These are very precarious jobs that require a high level of expertise.” She also stated that “it has to be very clear that this cannot come at the expense of removing funding from research. On the contrary, it's about how to leverage the resources for the common good.” #EuropeanResearch #ExcellentResearch
In large collaborative projects, project managers play a crucial yet undervalued role, often burdened with administrative tasks with little recognition or support. This challenge is particularly prominent within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (#MSCA) programme under #HorizonEurope. To address these issues, MSCA alumni and EU-LIFE recently hosted an event that generated key recommendations for improving support for project managers, highlighting their value in driving successful project outcomes. 📌 More: https://lnkd.in/ew3mGAgk
