Leibniz Leadership Academy: Leadership Lunches

Leadership Lunches

Here we present stimulating ideas on all aspects of leadership in science organisations – and sometimes beyond. Agility, diversity management and recruitment are typical examples of topics that benefit from a broader perspective and for which we sometimes invite speakers from other sectors.

Since June 2024, we have been organising this format jointly with the Helmholtz Leadership Academy. The Leadership Lunches are open to all interested persons of the Leibniz Association as well as alumni and participants of the Helmholtz Academy. To be added to the mailing list of the Leibniz Association, please contact us on akademie(at)leibniz-gemeinschaft.de. We are also always happy to receive suggestions for topics at the same address or at akademie(at)helmholtz.de.
