As a professor, you are regularly confronted with a variety of leadership challenges. Good leadership is the key to effective processes and successful cooperation in the workplace. The Leadership Program for Professors supports you in strengthening your skills as a leader: you will work on key topics with selected experts from the fields of governance, leadership and management. In addition, the program provides a networking forum where you can exchange ideas with colleagues at a comparable career stage.
The program is aimed at newly appointed UZH professors, providing support to ensure a successful transition into your new role. Other UZH professors who would like to refresh their leadership skills are also welcome to attend.
The Leadership Program is a continuing education program comprising both core and elective modules:
