The Emerging Research Leaders' Development Programme (ERLDP) programme has been designed for postdoctoral researchers/research staff aspiring to achieve research independence in order to lead their own research group and/or to become research leaders in their field through a variety of career pathways including academia. It is a unique opportunity for you to develop and reflect upon your personal leadership style in the context of those who you lead in either an official or unofficial capacity. We will provide tailored training workshops and one-to-one coaching so you can develop solutions relating to your current situation and your future needs. Attending participants will also have access to online resources and a mid-programme masterclass.
