Full professors

As a full professor you are responsible for creating and leading your own line of research and that of assistant and associate professors. You supervise PhD students, assistant and associate professors and other staff members. If you are also the head of the department, you will need a strategy and vision for the future of your department. You probably want to create a great working team, and need to coach employees in their development, you will function as board member or chairman, and need to decide how you practically run your department. Academic leadership demands a lot of focus and energy. Try doing research, teaching, and having a private life at the same time!

Full professors are therefore usually interested in courses about academic leadership, scientific project management, supervision, governance, delegating, valorisation, media training and happiness training. You will find these courses and workshop below, and more!

ElroyCOM offers the following courses for Full professors

Selling Science

Scientists and their departments need money for research, and they increasingly depend on funding from outside university. So they apply for funding from (inter-)national funding agencies, or cooperate with industry, external employers, or businesses. They may also want to make money out of the results, or spread results through the media to make sure their results get know and used.

This asks specific skills of you and your department, such as convincing non-experts, business negotiations, consulting skills, marketing your results, and dealing with the news media.

What exactly is the need for knowledge or applications by your external partner? How do you translate this to your research questions? How do you create an effective cooperation in which your and their needs are satisfied? How do you spread your results, make sure they get noticed in the news media?

That is what Selling Science is about!

Communication

In the end, communication is a large part of your work. Whether you talk about your research, planning, supervision, or about the weather in social interactions: we could not do without communication. Communication is also a skill: you can prepare, analyse, and influence communication. Personal styles and goals of the other person and yourself create an interaction and define the outcome. Learning how to apply different techniques helps you get what you want, and maintain positive relationships. In our experience, our scientific participants learn eagerly and enjoy communication training a lot!

FemPower

Women all over the world are underrepresented in management positions. The Netherlands are not doing well compared to other European countries. In the Dutch academic society only some 12% of the full professors are women. This percentage is even lower in executive and governing positions. Change is needed in organisations, for instance in scouting and selection procedures, male:female ratio in selection committees, and in gender bias awareness.

But women can do al lot themselves! They need to invest in their visibility, and in their skills in networking and leadership. In cooperation with women’s networks, ElroyCOM has developed training for academic women who want to make it to the top.
