Preface

Dr Celia Whitchurch, Honorary Associate Professor, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education, London, UK

This Handbook is a timely contribution giving a state-of-the-art account of a profession that has developed over the years from what might be seen as purely regulatory and accounting roles, such as recording research income and expenditure, to more active roles, for example contributing to the writing of research grant applications, matching individuals and groups to specific income streams, and contributing to institutional research policy. As a result, research endeavour in institutions has become more integrated with institutional policymaking, and research managers perform a translational function between funders, academics and beneficiaries, for which transferable skills are required. They have, therefore, become research ‘enablers’ (King et al., 2023), ‘science communicators’ and ‘policy analysts’ (Poli, Oliveira, et al., 2023, Chapter 3.1), as well as managers per se. Their roles not only include knowledge exchange and project management, but also impact assessment, liaison with business and industry, public engagement and dissemination, in a world in which research is increasingly output and performance driven. This involves ‘making things work’ between different governance and value systems, particularly in international collaborations. Many of these types of roles put emphasis on the involvement of and feedback by stakeholders and users such as local communities and those participating in citizen science programmes. Those involved in such schemes are likely to be creating their own form of Mode 3 knowledge, i.e. ‘situated’ knowledge arising from practice that also involves stakeholders and users (Carayannis & Campbell, 2016; Whitchurch, 2023). At the same time, however, misrecognition of their roles and identities persists, particularly in respect of those elements of their work that are adjacent to academic activity.

The more analytic chapters give consideration to research management and administration both as a collective specialism, strengthened by national and international professional associations, and as a bespoke career, with the potential for individuals to develop their own niche within higher education, often poised between academic and professional forms of activity. In some cases, this also creates the opportunity to progress a career outside as well as within higher education. The increasing numbers of research managers with master’s and doctoral qualifications mean that they may have direct experience of undertaking research, giving them the opportunity for greater career mobility, for example in project management, and/or in government agencies and policy-making bodies connected with funding research and technology. This can in turn create new divisions, between those with PhDs and those without, creating ambivalence about which world individuals belong to. It also sets up the potential for tension between the promotion of a collective identity, expressed via professional associations which give visibility to research managers’ activities, and individual identities created by pursuing bespoke trajectories according to local circumstances. There are also multicultural and multidisciplinary dimensions to cross-boundary work, particularly where research partnerships are aimed at global development. In this connection, ‘cultural intelligence’ is offered as a framework to help research managers navigate the complexities of diversity and internationalisation. All these factors can give rise to issues of where people belong, as well as potential misrecognition of their identities, which affects nomenclature, titles, career and promotion structures. These issues could be further explored as the literature develops.

It is apparent from the various contributions across countries that there are different levels of maturity for the different national groupings. Variables are likely to include the culture of an institution, the level of qualifications of individuals, particularly if they have a doctorate or academic experience, for example at the level of an early career researcher, and perhaps most critically, local relationships with academic colleagues. The debates across the chapters also raise issues about appropriate professional development for this group of staff, the extent to which this can be undertaken collectively, for example via training initiatives and the activities of professional associations such as conferences, and ways in which individuals might advance their skills and knowledge in the different spheres of research activity in which they may be involved. Practical examples are also given of research structures and cultures, and professional development frameworks, in different parts of the world. Thus, on the one hand, the book can be seen as a compendium mapping the contemporary profession internationally, and, on the other, as offering insights into the range of individual identities and aspirations that have emerged. The comparative dimension, across a broad range of countries, and indeed continents, makes it a particularly useful reference volume.

Preface

Nik Claesen, Managing Director of the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators, Brussels, Belgium

When I first heard about this book, I was impressed by the courage of these editors to take on such a huge task. They have taken on a mammoth challenge by combining a very broad geographical coverage with a description of the complexity of research management and administration (RMA).

The level of ambition of this book is however matched by the experience, expertise, and network of the editors. They are some of the most knowledgeable and connected practitioners of the global RMA community, and are at the forefront of research into RMA. They combine theory and practice and have an extensive frame of reference. I was therefore very excited at the undertaking of the major journey that has culminated in the completion of this book.

I am overjoyed to see the result of their labours, not only because it is interesting but also because it is highly relevant in the current international context. As the Managing Director of the European Association of Research Management and Administration (EARMA), I know the European context best and this book could not be more timely. Research Management and Administration has an amazing momentum across Europe, and in my view also across the world. With the awareness of RMA increasing around the globe, there is a need for three elements to advance the (emerging) research management and administration profession. Firstly, there is a need to understand the current situation better, both at the national level and the supra-national level. Secondly, there is a need to reach a better understanding of what research management and administration is, and what its role is within the (global) research and innovation ecosystem. Thirdly, it is of crucial importance that a much larger and more convincing evidence base is formed to allow all stakeholders, but especially policy makers, to take action and unlock the huge potential of research management and administration. This book advances all three aspects simultaneously while allowing the reader to understand differences across the world allowing them to take a step back from the national or organisational contexts and viewpoints. This will allow the reader to understand the complicated world of research management and administration better. Such understanding is crucial for the RMA community to move towards a mature profession.

Therefore, I regard this work not only as the next step in the state of the art of research into research management and administration but also a strong building block in the evidence base needed to create a better and stronger research management and administration community across the world. This is essential to allow for better research and innovation to take place and address the large challenges of our time. I salute and congratulate the editors, their regional editors, and the many authors for taking on this project and delivering such an impressive result.

We are truly grateful for their valuable support, which has enabled us to make this publication freely accessible to a wider audience, and particularly for research managers and administrators (and prospective RMAs) in all corners of the earth.

We would also like to acknowledge the many colleagues, friends, and family members who have provided support, encouragement, and inspiration along the way. Although we are unable to mention everyone by name due to space constraints, we would like to mention a few.

Simon is indebted to his long-suffering wife Sue for everything including coffee deliveries, and of course to his dogs Chloe, Bramble, Violet, and Gracie for their much needed therapy and exercise regimes. He would also like to acknowledge everyone that has helped him on his way as an RMA research practitioner, ARMA (and RAGnet), EARMA, and other colleagues, but in particular to NCURA⁵ for funding the initial RAAAP⁶ survey. That and the two further iterations have provided data for so many of the chapters in the book. RAAAP would not have been possible without all the association champions and the various co-investigators and advisory group members along the way and so this book owes much to them and in particular to Patrice Ajai-Ajagbe, Jan Andersen, Janice Besch, Madhuri Dutta, Melinda Fischer, Cindy Kiel, Cristina Oliveira, Susi Poli, Bryony Wakefield, Deborah Zornes, and of course his first co-principal investigator, Stephanie F. Scott. Our gratitude goes to the, literally, thousands of RMAs that took the time to complete the surveys.

Susi’s warm thanks go to inspirational figures at Unibo: Ines Fabbro, Alice Trentini, Giuseppe Colpani, Daniela Taccone, Viviana Zanon, Elena Zaccheroni, Alessia Pollice, Barbara Neri, Michele Toschi, Elisabetta Chiusoli, Silvia Samoggia, and to all the colleagues in the Education division for their curiosity in exploring selves in the higher education (HE) management. Her peers nurtured her perseverance and opened up new frontiers of investigation and professional training for her. Warm thanks also go to the colleagues who offered a review of the drafts: Lucy Kerstens, Patricia Ruiz Noppinger, Patrizia Rampioni, José Santos, Denise Florean, Karina Koesler, Valentina Romano, Marco Berzano, and Adele Del Bello. Special thanks to her mentor Pam Denicolo and to her supervisor Celia Whitchurch. She also remembers with gratitude the mentorship of late Gareth Williams and David Watson. This book is dedicated to her dad, Ruy, who passed away during the pre-final stage of reviewing this book. Ruy believed that this world can easily be a ‘woman’s place’, which propelled Susi’s commitment to women’s leadership in the highly gendered HE sector. Lastly, her warmest thanks go to Jo and Andrea, her family team, for their unconditional support throughout the lifecycle of this book-project.

Mariko expresses sincere gratitude to her SPICE colleagues at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies of Stanford University, especially Gary Mukai, for the unwavering support that enabled this exploration. Her life-long mentor Daniel Okimoto deserves special thanks for his constant encouragement and intellectual guidance, igniting her research curiosity. Kiminori Gemba and Shunpeita Tamada brought initial research collaboration, and many individuals at EARMA, especially Nik Claesen and Jan Andersen, along with RMAs at Swiss federal institutions, offered valuable guidance at the onset of her fieldwork. Masayo Fujimoto, Makiko Takahashi, and Mari Yamauchi provided intellectual support, while Shuichi Ishida offered opportunities for academic collaboration. Most recently, fellow participants of the 2023 INORMS study tour deepened her understanding and appreciation of the RMA profession. Mariko expresses her heartfelt gratitude to Simon and Susi for their invaluable camaraderie and takes pride in the remarkable teamwork during their journey together. Deepest appreciation goes to her most supportive family, Phillip, Risako, Seiji, Masako, Haru, Koko, and Rocky, for always believing in her abilities and providing inspiration.

Finally, we would like to thank our readers for their interest in this book. We hope that this work will provide useful insights that will enable you to delve deeper into the emerging topics and inspire you to engage in meaningful discussions that can help shape the field of research management and administration.

Thank you all for your contributions, support, and dedicated efforts to this project. We are proud to have worked with such a talented and committed group of individuals.
