Focus on: Research Leadership, Independence and Management

Our new 'Focus on' web pages are packed with dedicated and useful resources about Research Leadership, Independence and Management. Find out more about the researchers journey from being led and managed by supervisors to being responsible for leading and managing others. Our resources are for researchers and those supporting them. Look out for more details about our Focus-on #vitaechat taking place on Thursday 7 June.
