This symposium unites researchers interested in leadership, highlighting the diversity of leadership initiatives in education and academia across the university. The programme includes thought-provoking talks from (guest)speakers and interactive workshops, offering practical insights into conducting leadership research and understanding its impact. We provide you with practical tips at our information market where university representatives will be available to share resources, expertise, and guidance to support new and innovative initiatives.
