The Need for Sustainable Leadership in Academia

Explore current data and novel concepts of how to transform leadership in academia with us!

Academia is a world of uncertainty – terminated positions, publish or perish, and Science in itself can be challenging to navigate. Therefore, the role of the group leader comes with special responsibilities. But let’s be honest – would you feel prepared to tackle this role?

Driven by their own experience as Scientists in various fields of academia, the SciLead team set out to invesitgate the state of leadership in German academia. The conceptualized survey was published in 2021 and since then the team has been working on novel concepts on how to transform leadership training in academia to better prepare emerging leaders in science. In this interactive workshop, current data on the topic as well as the novel established concepts will be discussed and tested in an interactive workshop.
