Fourth Round of Young Leaders in Science Management Training Launched

30.05.2012, Bremen | In close cooperation with the Center for Science & Research Management in Speyer, the Ernst Schering Foundation for the fourth time offers the Young Leaders in Science management training. The program aims to provide young natural and life scientists with the communication and management basics necessary to direct their own research group. The first of five modules took place on Schloss Etelsen near Bremen on May 24-26, 2012, focusing on the basics of science management, communication, conflict management as well as team leadership and teamwork.

During the three-day workshop, 22 young leaders from science institutions from all over Germany discussed questions such as “What communication techniques can I use to achieve my goals?,” “How do I deal with difficult communication situations?” or “How do I get my research team to collaborate in a collegial and effective manner?”

The participants explored the topics both theoretically and through role plays and other practical exercises. In addition, the exchange of experiences was especially significant because of the participants’ different fields of activity.
