Research Support Office - Eindhoven University of Technology’s Post

On Thursday, we had another meeting of the Research Support Network! Some of the agenda points were Internal Audits, the RSN academy, and Circular Society research within the EWUU Alliance (alliance TU/e, WUR, UU, UMC Utrecht (EWUU)). Furthermore, we got an introduction to the department of Mechanical Engineering (who were hosting this meeting), and to research support at Technical University of Munich, one of our partners within the EuroTech Universities Alliance.   This all followed by well attended and active networking drinks with colleagues from services, departments and institutes across the university.

The members of our project management office have had busy weeks: Another one of the projects we manage had a workshop. This time 30 fellows within the EuroTechPostdoc2 project met in Munich for a full week of training and networking!

The European Research Council (ERC) announced yesterday the laureates for the Advanced Grants (2023 call), and we congratulate Prof. Jan Van Hest, TU/e researcher, on receiving this prestigious award.

We kicked of a new year of the RSN Academy with 2 workshops in March. Our data management colleagues Kristina Korshunova, Edyta Cios and our TU/e ethics specialist Jolanda Habraken presented an engaging workshop about research data management, ethics and open science to an enthusiastic RSN audience. And last week, our The Gate IP mgt colleagues Anna Wetzels, Suki Sandhu and Natasa Marsic told an interested audience everything about Intellectual Property and how to deal with it in the TU/e research environment. We are pleased to see that the RSN Academy is steadily growing into a recognized and popular instrument, supporting the professional growth of the TU/e Research Support Network. By exchanging knowledge and experience within the RSN we strive to create a learning organization, improving our support to TU/e researchers. More workshops are being planned. Later in March our RSO legal colleague Baukje Rongen will give a general presentation on the legal aspects of contracts. Registration is still possible for RSN members. In April there will be 2 workshops. One on the European Union and its politics, institutions and policy. The other will explain the AI act, and how it will impact research proposals. If you want to know more about the RSN Academy, join a workshop, have any suggestions for interesting topics, or maybe even share your own knowledge, please contact Karen Luijten-Hoffman.

A strong beginning sets the tone for fruitful collaborations ahead. At the RSO Project Management Office, we've been actively involved in the initiation of new projects such as the EIC-funded Pathfinder project 4TunaTES. Wishing all involved the best of luck and an enjoyable journey ahead! 4TunaTES is supported by Nathalie Thielen.
