The Fellowship team has been using the 'pause' between graduating one cohort and starting the next, to do a number of things. This includes a review of our MERL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Reflection and Learning) processes and systems. Tracey Konstant, who has been working with us on this, has helped us to weave together the two different approaches of Theory of Change and Outcomes Mapping. These two elements of MERL are really in conversation with one another – on the one hand, Theory of Change provides a working theory to help rationalise a project but it does not describe the whole system, and it may be incorrect. As a counterbalance therefore, it's important to include something which is more sensitive and responsive to what emerges in practice. This is where Outcomes Mapping can be useful. By simply asking what has changed, an organisation can both test its theory and gain insights into developments and changes that extend beyond what it was able to predict. These then become useful for refining theTheory of Change. In our process of review, we found, for example, that some of our Alumni are already forging new ways of leading that are different to the current models of leadership in the sector. Previously, we hadn't been so explicit in capturing this as an outcome, and seeking it out in our M&E processes. Now we are finding ways to do this. How is your organisation working with MERL and the related tools of Theory of Change and Outcomes Mapping?

🎓 Welcome Postgraduates! 🌟 As a new academic year dawns upon us, Congratulations to all the postgraduate students joining The DaVinci Institute. Our years ahead promises to be a journey of growth, discovery, trust, innovation and accomplishment as we all embark on the next phase of our academic pursuit.

Future Leader Fellowships | The flagship funding opportunity that supports the future leaders of research and innovation. The £110m Round 9 Future Leader Fellowships are a UK Research and Innovation initiative delivered through Innovate UK. These strategic investments support individuals with high-potential innovation ideas. Dr Sarah Dempsey, FLF at Peratech tells us about her experience, having previously received support for an Innovate UK KTP project (Knowledge Transfer Partnership). 📣 "I had previously completed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), which gave me the skills and the confidence to approach the next stage in my career. A business hosted FLF seemed like an excellent opportunity for both me and for my host business, Peratech. With a KTP I got to manage a budget; with an FLF, you get to create your budget and then manage it. You have a lot of scope to use the funding in the way that benefits the project, yourself and your team. The support available to fellows through the FLF Development Network also provides opportunities to learn new skills, delivered by excellent coaches. A KTP is an excellent grounding for a Future Leaders Fellowship. However, the FLF requires that little bit more from you, and you gain a lot more in return. Through FLF I have four years of funding for my project, my development, and my team. I also have the opportunity to get involved in outreach, to shape policy and to inspire the next generation."

Assistant Professor, UCL <—-> Physics research @ CERN <---> Machine Learning <---> Multidisciplinary & Industry Projects
🚀 Celebrating the Success of the Leading in Collaborations Program at UCL 🚀 One week ago, I had the pleasure of seeing the culmination of months of planning and preparation for the Leading in Collaborations Program supported by the UCL Centre for Data Intensive Science and Industry. As the organiser, I was deeply inspired by the commitment and engagement of every attendee. It was a gathering of brilliant minds in physics, each dedicated to enhancing their leadership skills in large international collaborations. What stood out most was the atmosphere of trust and open engagement, expertly fostered by Chris Russell, our lead facilitator. His ability to guide us through complex topics using a clear language and framework was exceptional. Over the course of two workshops, Chris created a space where deep, meaningful conversations flourished. Attendees were not only open to discussing and challenging ideas but also keenly engaged in building upon them. The level of interaction and collaboration among the participants was a powerful testament to the importance of effective leadership in scientific endeavours. Seeing such a diverse group come together, share insights, and learn from each other was incredibly fulfilling. This program wasn't just an educational experience; it was a demonstration of the profound impact of collaborative leadership. As we move forward, I am excited to see how each participant will apply these lessons in their respective areas, driving forward the frontiers of science. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the attendees, Chris Russell, and everyone involved in making this program a resounding success. Here's to the continued journey of leadership and collaboration in science which picks up again next week! Cannot wait! https://lnkd.in/eiWGZBcs #LeadershipDevelopment #ScienceCollaboration #UCL #InspiringLeadership
