Leadership: Networking and creating connections as a leader

In the realm of academia and research, leadership is not just about individual excellence but also about the ability to build and nurture meaningful relationships. Effective networking, or rather relationship building, is a vital skill that can open doors to new opportunities, foster collaboration, and drive personal and professional growth.

During this engaging session, you will learn the value of relationship building as a leader, where we will explore the principles, strategies, and benefits of effective networking. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will learn how to cultivate a strong professional network that supports your career advancement and contributes to a vibrant, collaborative research community.
