Academic leadership II

During the first two days, you will increase your knowledge and skills in group leadership and organizational leadership. After the first module, there is time to apply your new knowledge and skills in your work. In the second module, we look back on this and you build on vision and strategy and look at existing systems. Exchanging experiences and discussing practical situations is an important part of this training.
