The Science Leadership Programme in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC-SLP) is a capacity-building initiative of the Global Young Academy (GYA). The pilot programme, starting in November 2022, is funded primarily by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the Global Young Academy (GYA) and carried out with the support of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. The LAC-SLP supports early to mid-career researchers the LAC region in basic and applied sciences, engineering, social sciences, arts and the humanities, and aims to equip them with leadership tools for team development, engagement and collaboration.
For the GYA, science leadership is a collaborative, reflective approach to creative thinking and cooperation related to advancing science in diverse contexts. More information on the GYA’s Science Leadership activities can be found here: Science Leadership – Global Young Academy.
