Shaping the culture of science by training scientists to be effective, inclusive, and authentic leaders
Leadership and Management Skills Course for Early Career Researchers
November 8th – 25th, 2022
This online workshop will be facilitated in six half-day sessions spread over 3 weeks (November 8th, 11th, 15th, 18th, 22nd & 25th)

Early Career Researchers find themselves in a highly diverse and competitive research landscape. To successfully navigate their career paths, transferable skills in the areas of communication, (self)-organisation, and interpersonal relationships are essential. We believe that these skills can be acquired and developed. This workshop will enable Early Career Researchers to productively deal with challenges related to the interpersonal aspects of working in science.
