Being a leader means setting goals together with people and traveling the path toward those goals with them. That is often easier said than done, especially in a work environment as multifaceted as the academic world. Over the course of their specialized careers, researchers receive little preparation for future leadership duties. By the time they receive their first appointment, professors therefore face the challenge of embracing their new leadership role positively and filling it constructively.

Modular program “Leadership in Science”

This is where the modular leadership-development program “Leadership in Science” comes in: it helps professors at the Berlin University Alliance’s partner institutions fulfill their leadership role as effectively as possible. We offer workshops tailored specifically to the needs and interests of professors, enabling you to strengthen and further develop your leadership skills. The program is designed so that both new leaders and those with many years of leadership experience can benefit.

The events in “Leadership in Science” can be booked individually according to your interests and needs. To accommodate the limited time budget of our target audience, our workshops are generally organized as half-day or full-day sessions. Small participant groups allow for an effective and intensive exploration of each topic. Finally, an evidence-based, scholarly orientation and the continuous evaluation of our events ensure that we set the highest quality standards for the professional development of our academic leaders.
