Europa Media has recently become a member of the EARMA, the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators.

I attended the EARMA annual conference last week in Dublin, which has been organised just before the ESOF 2012. It has been a successful and very well organised event at the Trinity College.

I heard several useful presentations and discussions on FP7, Horizon 2020 and many other topics.
