Description
Summary:Larger-scale projects are becoming more common throughout the social sciences and humanities, housed in centres, institutes and programmes. Talented researchers find themselves faced with new challenges to act as managers and leaders rather than as individual scholars. They are responsible for the careers and professional development of others, and for managing interactions with university administrations and external stakeholders. Although many scientific and technological disciplines have long been organized in this way, few resources have been created to help leaders understand their roles and responsibilities and to reflect on their practice. This handbook has been created by the combined experience of a leading social scientist and a chief executive of a major international research development institution and funder.
