Opleiding: Executive course 'Organization and leadership for PhD students'
Leerdoel
This nine days executive course will give participants (PhD students) the opportunity to learn about organization processes (why are things organized, or not organized, as they are?) and leadership (how can I influence these processes?). In addition, course participants are given the opportunity to learn practical skills that can help them to function better in a leading role.
Doelgroep

In nine days participants obtain practical insights and concrete skills in the field of organization and leadership.
