Starting from 1 March 2024, the University of Oxford will be embarking on an exciting two-year programme to design, deploy and disseminate an institution-wide leadership programme that is tailored to the situations and barriers encountered by researchers. The programme is funded by a Wellcome Institutional Funding for Research Culture award (£1M).
Research leaders are crucial for research culture change because they shape the experiences of others and strongly influence innovation and creativity in research. We will create a scalable and inclusive leadership development programme that is tailored to the situations and barriers encountered in research environments, and that is engaging for a broad spectrum of researchers.
