Founding applications now closed – express your interest for ongoing participation
The application period to join the initial (“founding”) Standing Committees of the International Network of Research Project Managers (INRPM) has now closed (May 19, 2026, AOE). We are currently forming the first Standing Committees, which will begin their work in the coming weeks.
What happens now
The initial Standing Committees are now being established and will: – Hold their first meetings – Define how they will work and organise themselves – Identify concrete outputs and activities to deliver in the coming months This phase focuses on building momentum and delivering initial outputs before summer.
Ongoing participation
INRPM is an open and evolving network. After the initial formation phase, we are moving to a rolling model of participation, where new members may join Standing Committees over time. If you are interested in contributing: – You are welcome to express your interest below – Your application will be shared with the relevant Standing Committee Lead – The Lead will assess fit based on current needs and active work – You will be contacted directly if there is a good match. Participation is based on current needs and active contribution, not automatic inclusion.
Participation expectations
Standing Committees are working groups focused on producing concrete outputs, not only discussion.
Being part of a Standing Committee means contributing to delivery.
– Participation means contribution, not attendance
– Members are expected to take responsibility for specific tasks or outputs (even small ones)
– Active participation typically requires ~3–5 hours per month in addition to meeting time
Participation is not based on interest alone. It involves contributing to activities that support delivery, including tasks that may not always be visible or self‑selected.
Participation levels may vary over time, but active contribution is expected from those who are part of the work.
