Shaping the Future of European Research Together 🌍 CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology Masaryk University is proud to support and endorse the EU-LIFE statement advocating for bold and better-coordinated policies in science and research across Europe. As a member of the prestigious EU-LIFE alliance, we firmly believe that fostering scientific excellence, open science, and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for addressing global challenges and ensuring a sustainable, prosperous future 🚀 This #statement is not only a roadmap for Europe but also a valuable guide for national policies. In the Czech Republic, we encourage national stakeholders like Ministerstvo školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy (MŠMT) and Czech Science Foundation (GAČR) to engage in these discussions and align strategies for a stronger, competitive research ecosystem. Let’s make science the centerpiece of Europe's future!

What can postdocs, group leaders and research institutions do to cultivate better research leaders? 🤔 6 postdocs from BRIC share their insights in 4 actions that can easily be carried out. 👇 Their suggestions are published in the EMBO reports in an article, where the authors elaborate on how postdocs, group leaders and research institutes can all play an important role in fostering better leadership in science. They propose 💡: 👥𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐬: Become part of intentional peer groups; these can provide real-time advice on the new, shared challenges faced among your peers! 🗣 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: Create a win-win scenario, where the group leaders steadily share leadership responsibilities (ideation, supervision, organization) and otherwise encourage career development plans to align future aspirations. 〰️ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: It’s not just more money and logistical resources; institutes can train leadership by flattening organizational structures, encouraging postdocs to run committees. 💭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Alongside enticing ideas, leadership selection should prioritize those who engage with management/leadership programs and show evidence of serious reflection on their leadership approach. The authors are the first cohort of LEAD-fellows at BRIC: James Bryson, Ülkü Uzun, Victor Oria, Ph.D., Jamie Auxillos, Iman Safari and Alexia Lopresti with support from Head of Strategic Research Support Katrine Sonne-Hansen and Scientific Officer Agnieszka Krzyzanowska.
