Research Projects design & management Centre (RPC)
The Research Projects design & management Centre (RPC) strengthens HU’s institutional capacity to design, coordinate, and sustain externally funded research projects. It supports strategic alignment, collaborative governance within consortia, and high-quality implementation across the full research project lifecycle.
Objective
The objective of RPC is to embed robust project design and management practices within HU research. By strengthening institutional coordination, governance, and lifecycle thinking, RPC enables research teams to initiate, lead, and sustain complex, collaborative projects aligned with societal challenges and partner ecosystems, funding frameworks, and HU’s strategic research ambitions.
Results
- Strengthened capacity for research project design and coordination
- Improved governance and role clarity within multi-partner collaborations
- Greater sustainability of externally funded research initiatives
How we work
Operating across different levels, RPC connects research strategies with practice by fostering shared methods, reflective learning, and cross-institutional collaboration. This approach enhances consistency, scalability, and long-term impact by strengthening HU’s role within collaborative research programmes.
