Research governance, management and administration

Governance model and management of a scientific research institution

Home » Research governance, management and administration

Summary

The aim of this module is for researchers and future leaders to understand the organisation of their institutions, the mode of governance, the rules and administrative procedures. The knowledge and respect of these elements lead to research good practices, integrity, and ethics. At the end of this module, participants will understand their role as full stakeholders in the functioning of the institution, and their position not only as beneficiaries but also as contributors to the proper functioning of the institution.
