The Scientific Committee of Reims Management School (RMS) was set up in 1999 to help the school’s research activities develop and provide an appropriate framework for the challenges and realities of research in management sciences.
The Scientific Committee’s mission
The Scientific Committee’s mission is to promote the quality of research at RMS and RMS’s intellectual influence at national, European and international level. With this in mind, the Scientific Committee lays down general guidelines for research at RMS and carries out annual evaluations of the work of its professors requesting the status of research professor at the institution.
The Scientific Committee’s role
 The Scientific Committee’s main role is to advise the Research Director and draw up procedures for validating the research activities of professors by granting them the status of research professor, with the emphasis on research.
Research activities are validated as follows:
- the Research Director gathers together data on each research professor with regard to his/her project and results obtained the previous year;
- this data is discussed at the Scientific Committee’s meetings;
- the Scientific Committee members give their views on these projects;
- the Scientific Committee establishes a framework in which each research professor will work on an individual basis for a one-to-three-year period.
The Scientific Committee also gives its opinion and suggests guidelines for projects, particularly regarding the creation of new Chairs and research groups. It also recommends how these may be promoted and developed.
The Scientific Committee’s objectives
The Scientific Committee’s objectives are set by the RMS Executive Committee. They are:
- provide advice on supervising research at RMS;
- evaluate research and recommend how it can be developed;
- promote RMS’s research policy;
- enable ‘Centers of excellence’ to be set up;
- foster in-house exchange in RMS;
- encourage interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary academic exchange;
- encourage international and cultural exchange.
