This is the first episode of our 3-part webinar series, each session addressing critical aspects of academic leadership and development.

Key findings from the report reveal that while 93% of leaders prioritize research excellence, only 56% feel adequately prepared to meet this challenge. Additionally, 75% of leaders identify talent recruitment and retention as significant challenges, with 66% predicting increased difficulty in managing human capital in the future.
