To create a better world 🌍, we should take inspiration from the Parasol Foundation Trust !. By investing in our young professionals and supporting them as they explore new opportunities and learn from the best, we can drive meaningful change! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #stem #professionals #shadowing #careercoaching #emergingleaders

To build a European R&I system that is sustainable and based on excellence, effective university leadership that centres people is crucial. For Senena Corbalan-Garcia, Vice-Rector for Research at Universidad de Murcia, EUA’s Research & Innovation Agenda 2027 demonstrates how academics, researchers, students, managers, technicians, and support staff are the agents of future transformation in universities.   Read her #EUAExpertVoices article at https://bit.ly/3uZnaiM   #innovation #research #leadership #highereducation

EMERGING LEADERS SHADOWING PROGRAM Three talented female students have been selected to benefit from a new Parasol Foundation program in partnership with Advanced Leadership Foundation which aims to help create the social, political and business leaders of tomorrow. The trio of STEM post-graduate students, Nikkei Carreras and Batsheva Schischa from Gibraltar and Romi Mayo from Israel are pictured below meeting other students in Washington DC as participants in the Emerging Leaders Shadowing Program. What lies ahead is two months of intensive mentoring by experts and customised career coaching from Luisa Solarte, founder of the successful enterprise Mappingup. Batsheva, who already has a Master’s in cancer medicine and clinical oncology and a first degree in human genetics, wants to explore the world of finance, mentored by Yanire Braña after a recent online finance course sparked her interest. Nikkei, who has a master’s from UCL in nanotechnology and regenerative medicine will be mentored by leading cancer specialist Naroa Gimenez-Camino. Romi who is a biomedical engineer and brain science student wants to understand the pharmaceutical industry better and is being mentored by Andrew Braner, an entrepreneur with extensive knowledge of the field. We need more women to pursue careers in STEM. They say, ‘you have to see it, to be it’. We hope that this program will put these women on the right career path and their pioneering spirit will inspire the next generation of young women to follow in their footsteps. #STEM careers #nextgeneration

SPOTLIGHT: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) was established in 2015 with a mission to tackle some of society's biggest challenges, such as disease eradication and educational improvement. One of CZI's key programs, the Science Diversity Leadership (SDL) program, focuses on supporting biomedical researchers who promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their fields. This program helps researchers not only advance their own work but also mentor and inspire the next generation of scientists, ensuring a diverse STEM workforce. SDL grantees, like Monkol Lek from Yale University, emphasize the importance of having leaders from various backgrounds in science. These leaders serve as role models for young students, showing them that they too can succeed in scientific careers. By providing research funding that values mentoring, CZI aims to empower early-to-mid-career faculty to conduct important biomedical research while also engaging in activities that nurture future scientists. CZI is dedicated to ensuring that scientific advances benefit everyone, particularly underserved populations, by fostering a more inclusive research environment. #ScienceDiversity #STEMLeadership #InclusiveScience #Mentorship #ChanZuckerbergInitiative #WorkforceDevelopment #EconomicDevelopment #STEMWorkforce https://lnkd.in/g43DzYXw

Highly-cited researchers rarely hold leadership positions at top research universities. Only about 26% of leading U.S. universities have presidents who are distinguished scholars, and executive boards are often dominated by leaders from the for-profit sector rather than academia. This disconnect raises critical questions about whether universities are prioritizing corporate management over academic excellence, potentially undermining their core research missions.

On my way to the Workshop on #NeoInstitutionalism @University of Jena To present our paper "the gendered logic of logics" about the impact of constellations of logics on female leadership careers in which we discover "the part-time leadership paradox" which suggests that part-time leadership is seen as feasable or not depending on what "the other time" is used for. I am looking forward to meeting the local organizers and fellow participants 🥳 https://lnkd.in/dGRHiaCV

I left academia following my master’s research, though I’d been asked to stay on and complete a PhD so the article below resonates with me. As Prof. Mintzberg is chair of a management faculty, the article he and Susan Mintzberg, PhD candidate, penned, broaches topics my MBA cohort can relate to as well. From the article: “ (…) a manager cannot be created in a classroom. Management has to be learned initially on the job, much like swimming has to be learned in the water.” I’d nuance that a classroom opens our minds to many topics and gives us the opportunity to deep dive those that interest us further. It also connects us with interesting, diverse individuals that yet have similar aspirations (the degree in question). But just as I’m willing to bet not all CEOs and senior executives had perfect GPAs in school, having an MBA is not the measure of a great manager or leader. How many people are willing to follow you? How do you work everyday to remove roadblocks for your teams? How many leaders are you in turn creating? How are you advocating for yourself and your team? How broad is your circle of influence?

This is alarming to me! We can do more! Recent studies by Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation highlight a crucial gap in the educational journey of many students: limited access to fundamental STEM concepts at school. This gap is a key factor contributing to the observed decline in students transitioning from an initial interest in STEM fields to actively pursuing careers in these areas. The findings emphasize the critical need for educational programs that offer students opportunities to engage with, comprehend, and utilize essential STEM principles. Such initiatives play a pivotal role in enabling students to navigate and excel in the dynamic realm of STEM. To further understand this issue and support these vital educational endeavors, I encourage you to explore more about these findings. Join me in advocating for and supporting initiatives that empower the next generation of STEM innovators and leaders!
