GYA unveils Science Leadership videos

Since 2014, more than 200 young scholars and scientists have taken part in GYA-supported capacity-building science leadership programmes or workshops.

These Science Leadership Programmes (SLPs) and Workshops aim to nurture future science leaders, offering training in collective leadership skills and strengthening networks of early-career researchers (ECRs) in world regions and across the globe. The Science Leadership concept builds on the recognition that early-career researchers, as future science leaders, need leadership capabilities and strong networks to collaboratively address existing complex global challenges.

The first video provides a quick overview. Videos 2 and 3 feature reflections from early-career researchers from around the world on what science leadership is for the GYA, and the concept of collective leadership.
