Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics
Research evaluation has become routine and often relies on metrics. But it is increasingly driven by data and not by expert judgment.
Dear IAC Friends,
Upcoming is a set of Adaptive Leadership Workshops for Faculty, sponsored by ADVANCE. The Workshops occur in four sessions - and also have a component of Leadership Development Groups (with four persons) between sessions. These Workshops are valuable toward managing research projects, exercising leadership in professional fields, improving outcomes in educational or other initiatives, and creating centers and programs.
Attached is the full description for the Workshops - and the link for applying:
