The Challenge of Science Leadership Distance Learning Programme
Event Information
About this event
Course Introduction:
Globally science is facing urgent challenges on many fronts including climate change, energy needs, food scarcity, plastic pollution and disease threats.
Scientists and science professionals are under pressure to advance research, produce publications, develop policy, design and enforce regulation as well as bringing on the next generation.
Scientists get many years of training in science, but much less for non-science skills – particularly leadership, which includes being able to see opportunity and shape vision, get buy in from others and achieve effective action.
The Challenge of Science Distance Learning Programme provides an integrated toolkit for those in leadership roles (from early career onwards) whether working in academic organisations, public bodies or commercial companies.
Course Organisation:

- CSL Distance Learning Course 1: Thinking Strategically
