What are the benefits for a research project manager when he or she is a mentor? Part 1

We spoke to a number of research project managers about how they view their role of being a mentor to their staff or doctoral students.

However, there are research project managers who recognize the benefits of serving as a mentor to their colleagues. What are these benefits? Below is a list of benefits for the project manager in the so-called “hard” area of research project management. In subsequent posts, we will show what personal and relational benefits can be had

What are the competence gaps of a diverse research team?

In our research that we conducted at research universities in Poland between 2020 and 2022, we also looked for new trends and phenomena in the work of research teams. We noticed that research teams are increasingly dispersed and diverse. Therefore, we examined the competence gaps in just such a team, coming from one of the research universities. The analyzed research team consisted of 13 employees working in research or research and teaching positions at a certain university, which is an established research university. We deliberately chose this particular team for the description, as it was also the most numerous research
