ReMaT is an intensive, interactive workshop, providing an introduction to a number of key topics relating to research management including project management, grant acquisition, and science and technology related entrepreneurship.

ReMaT is especially tailored to meet the needs of early-stage researchers especially from the 2nd year of PhD studies onwards, but is also suitable for others involved in research, or in directing research. ReMaT delivers hands-on practical training in an intensive, yet effective workshop form over two days. There is a strong emphasis on European networking in the way the workshop is delivered: we encourage participation from many different countries and disciplines.

ReMaT aims to give participants:

• an understanding of the different contexts in which research operates – from academia to industry, from fundamental to applied research
• an awareness of the skills needed to manage international, multi-disciplinary research projects
• knowledge of how to apply for research funding, from European sources and from private-sector funding bodies
• a foundation in the specific skills needed to fund, manage, disseminate and commercially exploit scientific research as a researcher
• opportunities for international networking

ReMaT has been conceived and developed as a project funded by the European Framework 6 Programme.

Institutions interested in hosting a ReMaT workshop are invited to email their interest to ReMaT.
