This biennial event offers unparalleled opportunities for international networking, professional development, and collaboration on best practices, diverse topics and trends in research administration.
Join over 1000 peers from dozens of countries to share knowledge and advance the profession while expanding your network. You will have the opportunity to establish and cultivate international relationships that will facilitate international collaborations and knowledge exchange.
With hundreds of experts, including speakers, authors, mentors, institutional and association leaders on site, you will learn about different perspectives, solutions and approaches to challenges in the profession as you participate in workshops and conference sessions. Study tours allow participants to visit some of the world-renowned research facilities located in Montreal.
Meet and learn from senior leaders to gain insight into emerging trends, strategic decision making, adapting and maintaining resilience in a complex environment. Hear about projects and research with international impact, including the Research Administration as a Profession Survey.
The generally strong USD/EUR against the Canadian dollar allows international attendees to stretch their professional development funds further. Canadians benefit from having an international conference right at home.
In addition to the conference social calendar, after-hours networking is elevated by vibrant Montreal’s famous culinary scene, lively streets, cultural scene and safe environment. Montreal is an international transit hub making it accessible for guests from around the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to INORMS 2027
In 2027, the Canadian Association of Research Administrators (CARA), will host the International Network of Research Management Societies (INORMS) Congress in Montréal, Canada from April 27-30.
The Congress program will be developed in partnership with L’Association des administratrices et administrateurs de recherche universitaire du Québec (ADARUQ), the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA), and the National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP).
The Congress will take place at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. Located in the heart of a city known for its energy, joie de vivre and forward-thinking spirit, the Palais has been actively contributing to Montréal’s effervescence since Day One. Today, when people meet at the Palais, they come together in a carbon-neutral architectural masterpiece.
Accessible to all and by any means of transportation, surrounded by renowned restaurants and the most vibrant city life Montréal has to offer, the Palais throws its doors open wide for INORMS 2027.
