Leadership and management skills are critical for a successful career in science. The Wellcome Trust/​DBT India Alliance, with support from European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), brings the Research Leadership Course that has been designed to meet the specific needs of researchers in India.

The four-day course will introduce key academic leadership concepts and help participants develop their individual leadership styles, acquire key communication skills, learn to effectively select the right staff and expand their support network for leadership issues in academia. The principle of this course is ​“As much theory as necessary and as much practice as possible”. Therefore, practical exercises, in the form of role-play and discussion groups, that provide hands-on experience will be an integral aspect of the course.

Course dates:
Delhi: 24 – 27 February, 2020
Hyderabad: 2 – 5 March, 2020
