Last week, I had the chance to take part in the GSO #LeadershipAcademy.

I’m leaving with fresh ideas and practical tools to apply in my daily work.

Huge thanks to the organizers and my fellow participants for this experience.

#LSA9 just wrapped up in Berlin! 🟡 A week of reflection, exchange & fresh perspectives. Our fellows explored what leadership means in research today—across roles, disciplines & institutions. From different workshops to tough questions: leading in academia starts with self-awareness.

#Leadership isn’t a buzzword. It’s a #responsibility.
Our GSO Leadership Academy 9 brings together 25 researchers from 10 countries to rethink what leadership in science means - and how it can strengthen institutions, communities, and futures. #LSA9 #GSOLA
1. phase in Berlin - starting in July!
