CONDITIONS FOR SUCCES

We look at research as a triangle. We see the quality on top whereas funding is the basis of all science. Funding can be turned efficaciously into high quality research by having excellent Management (M) of both, Human Resources (HR) and Facilities (F). These are the sides of the triangle. Professional research management combines deliberately HRM and FM. Here, you have the reason that we adopted the Dutch word ‘Driehoek’ for our company’s name. It means ‘triangle’.

Research management is all about, guiding, teaching, inspiring, scientists and all other people involved in science. It holds for assembling a consortium to apply for an EU-grant, the set-up of a research team to conduct a clinical study, to organise a research department, or what else. 

We believe a professional research manager needs to have, a firm scientific background, an analytical view, and compassion on scientists who face a huge workload. Yes, a research manager can be the driving force of any project alleviating the work of scientists irrespectively they work in the non-profit, or profit, sector. 

The mission of DRS is to contribute to a vital society by organizing and facilitating efficacious research in Life Sciences. Efficacy stands for the highest quality at relatively low costs. We execute this mission by, (1) working analytically, (2) goal-oriented, and (3) inspiring. These three core values support our mission. These also form a triangle enabling synergy. That also fits in our vision. Making connections, stimulating people to collaborate results in more than just the simple sum of the separate parts always, if well organized. The three core values, (1) analytical, (2) goal-oriented, and (3) inspiring, also characterize the employees of DRS. They are enthusiastic and goal-oriented, but they never lose the analytical view. That is our vision of organizing and facilitating efficacious science.
