Module 4P: Skills for Project Leaders

Leading a project team or a research group in science requires management skills. In this role, scientists are regularly involved in three areas:

The task (planning projects, objectives, resources, milestones)
The individual group or team members (leading, training, coaching)
The team itself with its particular group dynamics (diversity, conflicts)

This workshop is designed to cover all three areas: Participants will gain knowledge about project management, have the opportunity to reflect on their leadership style and learn models and tools to approach this challenging role successfully.
