YUFE universities are driven by research, but managing a team of researchers is a challenging job. Good leadership is a key ingredient for the success and wellbeing of the team. At YUFE, we believe that good leadership qualities are founded in self-reflection and agency. We encourage staff members to be curious about learning and to continue to improve their own skills. This Research Leadership Programme brings together researchers and research managers who are in charge of managing a research team and who want to go on a journey of leadership discovery together with YUFE colleagues.
This programme takes place over the course of four month. There will be two online sessions, self-study material, and a two-day on-site training activity at the University of Antwerp (travelling required). Participants are strongly recommended to network in between the sessions and after the programme. There are two places per university available.
