Being a Successful Research Leader
Seminar by Hugh Kearns
Friday January 13 at 8.30-12.30
Mauno Koivisto Centre auditorium, BioCity, Tykistökatu 6, Turku
Coffee and sandwiches at 10.00
What does it take to be a Research Leader? Obviously you have to work hard, but that’s not enough. Lots of people work hard and aren’t research leaders. You have to be clever but that’s not enough. Universities are full of clever people but they are not all research leaders.
So what are the skills, knowledge and attributes that tend to be associated with research leaders? They include high level interpersonal skills, leadership skills, delegation, thinking strategically, self-management and the ability to promote yourself.
This workshop will cover:
- What kind of research leader you want to be and how to make this happen
- Building an effective research team
- Being strategic with your time and energy
- Promoting yourself
The seminar is aimed at young research group leaders and young independent scientists.
Registration by Monday January 9, 2012 CLOSED!
