Aims & Objectives

Science Leadership Programmes 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 ECRs, as future science leaders, need leadership capabilities and strong networks to collaboratively address existing complex global challenges.

Science Leadership in Africa, ASEAN, APEC, and Latin America and the Caribbean

The GYA supports regional Science Leadership Programmes in Africa (ASLP), ASEAN, APEC and in Latin America and the Caribbeean. Detailed information on the Africa SLP, the ASEAN and APEC SLPs and the LAC-SLP can be found on the linked sub-project pages.
