06/06/2017 - Προθεσμία Αιτήσεων: GSO Leadership Academy for Scientists and Researchers (Γερμανία)

The GSO Leadership Academy is a joint project of German Scholars Organization with Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, Max Planck Society, and Klaus Tschira Foundation. Associated Partners are the Center for Science Management (ZWM), the Association of Technical Universities (TU9), and the German Association of University Professors and Lecturers.

The program is designed for 25 outstanding researchers of all disciplines who are about to take the next step in their career – as a junior group leader in science or industry, as assistance or full professor, as founder of a start-up or as someone taking responsibility in a research-related organization.

In two intensive five day training phases that blend self-assessment, interactive group workshops, case studies, videos, and lectures with individual mentoring and coaching, participants will be able to develop the skills they need for the next big step in their careers. They will gain a better understanding of their personal approach to leadership, experience what it means to model leadership in research-related environments, and learn how they can further push their personal development. As a group they will motivate and surprise each other and forge essential professional bonds with each other and with key players in their field.

Application deadline is June 6, 2017. You can apply here.
