INORMS 2016 Melbourne
International Network of Research Management Societies (INORMS) was formed in 2001 to bring together research management societies and associations from across the globe. Its purpose is to enable interactions, sharing of good practice, and joint activities between the member societies, to the benefit of their individual memberships.The first ever INORMS Congress was hosted by ARMS and held in Brisbane, Australia in 2006.
Each member society has its own distinct remit, constitution, membership and geographical base, but we each face similar issues. The nature of research management and administration is changing, and it is becoming more professional. The economic and political imperatives and pressures are common across the globe. The network enables the officers of the member societies to compare their national or regional issues, and to learn from each other. Through INORMS, we are able to transfer training course structure and content, adopt comparable support mechanisms, and jointly develop training materials.
The Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS) will be hostingĀ the INORMS CongressĀ in September 2016 in Melbourne Australia.
