LØFT is a network-based programme focusing on the development of research groups through research management. LØFT participants are driven by an ambition to increase their own research group’s research quality and external funding in practice. The initiatives in LØFT concern research activities and processes and not the research itself. The course takes place over 10 months with participation in 6 sessions of 4 hours each.
Examples of managerial work in LØFT include:
- Decisions on common ambitious goals for research, including the selection of some research interests over others and the consequences of rejection
- Decisions on increased collaboration across research groups, including prioritising collaborative relationships internally and externally and across disciplines
- Decisions on increased specialisation of non-research skills, including mobilising resources from others and developing skills and abilities within the group itself
