Do you have a Head of Department who is trying to protect your research time as a new research leader? I guess this can be hard to do as a head of department. How much should new research leaders be protected from the madness of the academic turmoil? Most will tell you that their work allocation is an alternative reality but certainly not the one they experience each day. Being supported by their line managers is not something you hear often from early career academics. It was great to hear from Thushan de Silva that his head department had really encouraged him to have more protected research time when he started as a Clinical Academic, giving him the space to build his research niche and collaboration, and settling in his role. That early stage in building a research portfolio and team is so precious. Getting new research leaders to have the best chance to be successful. If you are managing early career academics and research fellows, what are you doing to help them thrive in setting up their research group?

Theme: Role Models on Campus Research Center Leaders: If your university has research centers or institutes, explore the leaders and researchers involved. Seek out underrepresented leaders who can provide guidance and inspiration. Research centers and institutes often host exceptional talent working on groundbreaking projects. By seeking out underrepresented leaders within these establishments, you can foster a more inclusive and equitable research community. Building connections with underrepresented leaders expands opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. Their wealth of experience and achievements can inspire and guide you on our own research journey. Have you reached out to an underrepresented researcher at your school for guidance?

Research gate just made aware of ‘events & sustainability’ research I had nearly forgotten (one of series 2007-23). Of interest to those considering leadership of sustainable festivals, or events and regeneration of place (or beyond): Summary: Study examines the perception of festival sustainability by festival leaders. It identifies critical factors associated with sustainable festivals and explores leaders' attitudes towards creating and directing sustainable festivals. Main findings reveal that festival leaders prioritize event focus, leadership, funding, and organizational culture for sustainability. Additionally, sustainability is perceived as crucial for festival survival. The study suggests using the repertory grid method to manage stakeholder visions and proposes future research directions. #FestivalSustainability #Leadership #Research
