EARMA Conference

ARMA represents the community of Research Managers and Administrators (RMAs) in Europe. Their members work in industry, academia, the public and private sectors. They work with the EU Commission, national and international funding agencies. EARMA provides a networking forum, a learning platform, and a place to share experiences and best practice among RMAs throughout EARMA and in the wider RMA community.

The theme of the conference is Widening and Deepening of the RMA Profession. The theme covers both geographic widening as well as professional widening while the concept of deepening relates to the professional development of RMAs in Europe and beyond.

Digital Science is proud to be partnering with EARMA and exhibiting at this year’s conference. Stop by Booth 5 n the exhibition hall to learn more about how our products Symplectic Elements, Figshare, Dimensions and Altmetric can help you with research management, administration and support.

You’ll also be able to find our poster ‘Effective Research Management Systems: Getting Ahead of Research Data Mandates’ in Foyer 2C on the 2nd floor during the conference. Our poster session will be held on Tuesday, 25 April at 12:15-13:45 CET; please stop by if you’d like to speak with us about it.

With this partnership, we have the opportunity to position ourselves as
a world leader in the development of the scholarly ecosystem.
Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries, Carnegie Mellon

I cannot overstate how pleased we have been.
We have to have confidence to work with a partner
for at least 5 years on a project of this size.
Caleb Smith, Senior Strategy Manager for Research Intelligence & Analytics, University of Michigan

“Faculty need only spend perhaps less than an hour a year to prepare and submit their annual reports.”
Associate Dean, Carnegie Mellon University at Qatar

"Leveraging the interoperability between Symplectic Elements and DSpace has increased policy-driven institutional repository deposits by over 350%."
Ellen Phillips, Open Access Specialist, Boston University

Elements elegantly connected our multi-university system providing a
single source of truth throughout OIEx.
Tim Cain, The Ohio Innovation Exchange (OIEx)

The University measures the individual research activity of academic staff. This Measure of Research Activity (MoRA) requires the collection of publication data from faculty. Symplectic Elements supports this beautifully.
Floris van der Leest, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia

[Elements] will help to bring transparency to the richness of thought showcased within non-traditional publications, providing a more holistic representation of faculties’ scholarly work.
Caleb Smith, University of Michigan

Feedback to date has been extremely positive from all levels across the University, with individual academics and colleagues actively promoting the ease of use of the system.
Rachel Baird, Research Policy Analyst, University of Liverpool
