The Postdoc Academy for Transformational Leadership is a unique program that trains the next generation of leaders in sustainability research affiliated with a European research institution. With this year’s focus topic “Scaling Sustainability“, the program provides an intensive training with four seminars in two years that broaden the research competencies of early-career researchers and promote their qualification towards transdisciplinary leadership.

Furthermore, an active network of current and former participants of the program will be established.

The program is an initiative of the Robert Bosch Stiftung and a joint project of the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the four academic centers Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin, Leuphana University of Lueneburg, Stockholm Resilience Centre and The Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT), Rotterdam.
