SHARE was participating in RITrain. This project developed a flagship training program enabling RIs across all domains to gain expertise on governance, organisation, financial and staff management, funding, IP, service provision and outreach in an international context. It was designed and delivered by experts who had set up and managed RIs from concept to maturity. RItrain defined competencies required by RIs through consultation with their senior managers.
The resulting competency framework underpinned a Bologna-compliant degree, the Master in Research Infrastructure Management, with three delivery routes.

1. Professionals working in RIs (or organisations representing them) can dip into the content, focusing on areas where there is most need.
2. Management teams can take the course as an organisation, dividing modules between them to gain a certificate for the RI. This will flag the RI as an organisation that values staff development, improving its attractiveness as an employer.
3. Recent graduates and others wishing to enhance their employability can take a full master's degree.

Course content included webinars led by senior managers of RIs. A staff-exchange program catalyses exchange of best practice and fosters cooperation to develop a mobile work force effective across many RIs. By the end of the project RItrain delivered a master's curriculum funded through course fees. Others with an interest in adopting it have beenencouraged to do so, providing a means of expanding the program. Europe's research community and global collaborators gained from world-class facilities to support excellent, high-impact research to benefit humankind.
