Research managers have paid tribute to Stirling research services director John Rogers, who was also a leading figure at the UK’s Association of Research Managers and Administrators.

Rogers, who died last week aged 59 following a sudden illness, had worked at the University of Stirling for 18 of his 25 years in higher education. He was “inspirational, a visionary and a close friend to many”, the university said in a statement.
