“This year ARMS celebrates an important milestone – 25 years of research management excellence! In 1999 ARMS was established by a hopeful and very forward-looking few. Look at us today! Research management in all its varieties and research management professionals are very much part of the core infrastructure that enables research management excellence and impact. I am so proud to be part of an engaged community of practice, that has supported our members over the past 25 years. I invite you to participate in specialty local events and the annual conference over the coming months”. - Dr Tania Bezzobs, ARMS President

OUR COLLABORATION
ARMS and MyRMA have an established relationship and are committed to working collaboratively on initiatives that promote greater international engagement and promotion of the profession for the benefit of all members. This collaborative engagement commenced in 2019 with an event hosted by Monash University Malaysia in association with MyRMA, a then newly formed Research Management Association. The not only raised awareness of the importance of the profession but also a commitment for both Associations to continue working together to achieve global research excellence.
ARMS is committed to working with MyRMA in a mentoring arrangement to jointly deliver our 2024 conference.
