ARMA (UK) is the professional association for research management in the UK. We represent research leaders, managers and administrators, offering professional development and opportunities to build networks, knowledge and skills.
With around 3800 members, we work with UK-wide and international bodies to influence and understand the changing research management agenda, translating the impacts of that change for our members. We work with others to promote public trust in research, communicating its benefits and value. Most of all, we work to enhance research management as a professional partner in the UK research environment.
We provide a wide range of membership benefits and development opportunities, including regular e-news, social media channels, a member magazine, a jobs mailing list and our Annual Conference.
A community of research management professionals operating in a thriving research landscape who are recognised for their expertise and integral role in ensuring the vitality of UK research.
ARMA is the UK’s national association serving research managers and administrators. We are experts, operating locally and impacting across a global context. We train, support and advocate nationally for the needs of research management professionals through our vibrant and inclusive community.

Our members have access to discounted rates for the ARMA Training & Development Programme, offering a range of workshops, webinars and videos to help them build the knowledge and skills they need.
Our members can engage directly with other members on issues that are important to them, and build their networks through our Special Interest Groups and other events. Members can exchange information, ideas and best practice to build knowledge and expertise.
Members can accredit their prior learning and develop their knowledge and skills by enrolling for one of our Certificate in Research Management qualifications. Accredited by the ATHE, these are offered at Foundation and Advanced levels.
Our members can help the Association to influence policy development, through ARMA’s Research Policy Forum and by participating in ARMA responses to policy consultations and issues.
Our members get discounted rates for ARMA’s Annual Conference, where they can access workshops, plenary sessions, a commercial exhibition, a poster competition and a host of networking opportunities.
ARMA’s Board is made up of up to nine members, selected for their specific experience, knowledge and skills. Board member appointment is ratified by members, at the Annual General Meeting. Collectively, and as individual Directors, these members are responsible for the governance of the Association, financial management, and compliance with relevant legislation and regulations. The Board is also responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Association, ensuring that member interest remains at the core.
The ARMA Board is supported by a range working groups and committees, that form ARMA’s governance structure. We encourage our members to get involved in our governance activities.
ARMA’s Executive Office is responsible for the implementation of the Association strategy. The small but well-formed team has been put in place to make sure that our members get the most from being a part of our community. Skills within the team range from communications and events to financial management and qualifications support, and we’re always delighted to help answer your questions.
