Program overview

The program Research Management & Leadership (former Basic Module) equips postdocs and junior professors and tenure track professors with fundamental and science-relevant methods and instruments of management. It includes four topics (workshops) in which participants strengthen their leadership, communication and project management skills. In addition, the topic funding is included as its own workshop. The program’s main idea is to go beyond general management principles by considering the nature of academic research, comprehensively bridging the gap between management skills on the one hand and research projects on the other hand.
