This visit was a part of the RadExIORSBoost project administrative staff visit between two project partner institutions. During their visit, Mrs. Adams and Dr. Veal have shared their valuable expertise in project management, research collaboration and partnership support. They highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary project supervision to gain adequate skills for successful application and project implementation in various research fields. The structure of the University of Leicester was presented to IORS members, as well as the insights into processes of pre- and post-award managing and implementation. Future directions were discussed and researchers were encouraged and trained on how to prepare the “Rulebook for successful project and research management” to attract new research funding.
The RadExIORSBoost project team would like to express sincere gratitude to Marie and Colin for sharing their knowledge and valuable experience.
