We’ve been helping develop the current and next generation of science leaders since 2009.
The Challenge of Science Leadership provides leadership development programmes focused on scientists and people working in science – on research, policy, education and regulation.

What We Do
The Challenge Of Science Leadership provides creative, lively, high-impact, hands-on training courses and workshops that are tailored to meet your objectives.
Why We Do It
We believe that although most scientists don’t get into science to be leaders, leadership is a skill that can, and needs, to be learned.
How We Do It
We design our courses to give as much opportunity for experiential, reflective and action learning as possible, using ideas and tools that are practical, relevant and can be readily applied at work.
We help people who work in:
Science leadership training with the scientific community in mind
Scientists aren't trained to be leaders
Most scientists don’t get into science to become leaders. It's most likely you were drawn to the science, the work, the research.
Many don’t feel equipped to be effective in their leadership role
The lack of sufficient training and development opportunities has resulted in a vacuum that only some, not all, will fill through learning on the job.
Most find themselves in leadership roles
Even from early in your career you may have been faced with leadership roles for which you were not prepared.
We can fill that gap with high impact training and support for scientists
This means short but effective workshops and courses tailored to people with science and technical backgrounds like you.
