Welcome to ARMA 2026
The ARMA annual conference is designed to promote excellence in research management. Colleagues from across the UK and around the globe will connect, learn and share knowledge through a mix of workshops, plenary sessions, exhibitions and networking opportunities.
The conference is a great opportunity to celebrate good practice in the sector and participate in a range of activities designed along themes that reflect the needs and priorities of the research management community.
The conference will take place on 16 - 18 June 2026 at the Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC). For those arriving on 16th June, we hope you will join us for an informal evening reception.
