Letizia Mortara to head up new R&D Management Conference office

Letizia MortaraDr Letizia Mortara has been appointed as head of the R&D Management Conference Office, a new position announced by Jeremy Klein, chairman of RADMA, in his closing remarks at the 2017 Leuven conference.

Dr Klein comments that the conference is attracting increasing interest from academics and practitioners and that the format of presentations and workshops is proving popular with delegates. To provide greater continuity it was agreed to set up a new office to support the conference organisation.

Dr Mortara, who is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge and a By-Fellow at Churchill College, is excited by the new role, which will include proposing and launching new activities.

She says: “My role will be to support the strategic direction of the conference, reflecting the needs of those engaged in both R&D and innovation management. An important element of this will be to encourage dialogue and alignment between the academic and industrial communities.

“For me, this is a very exciting development which complements my roles as Associate Editor of the R&D Management Journal and a Theme Editor for R&D Today.”
