[ie-announce] Informatics Europe Academic Leadership Course

[Informatics Europe President]

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce an unique development opportunity to leaders in 
Informatics and Computing:

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

*Academic Leadership Course* 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/services/academic-leadership-workshop.html>

*An intensive 3-day residential course **for Emerging Leaders in 
Informatics*
*
**16 – 19 June 2020**, Schlosspark Mauerbach,Vienna, Austria*

*Early Registration Deadline: **12 April 2020*
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Strong academic leaders in Informatics and Computing disciplines are 
needed now more than ever as Informatics has become a key driver in 
innovation and has become entangled in all aspects of society. Academic 
leaders in Informatics and Computing disciplines play an increasingly 
critical role in educating future computing professionals to engage in 
this work, in shaping the research that will deliver novel technologies 
that underpin future products and services and in effectively 
collaborating with diverse colleagues, partners, stakeholders, and 
disciplinary areas. But leading successfully in an academic environment 
is very challenging, in particular, due to the steadily increasing 
performance pressures in academia, for example, increasing 
competitiveness and accountability metrics, expanding workload, 
delivering on novel research topics, and recruiting young talented 
students to pursue a PhD position.

How do you address these challenges as an academic leader in a complex 
academic environment? How do you ‘do’ academic leadership? And how do 
you not just survive but thrive as a leader? Those and further questions 
will be addressed by two experienced facilitators,**Prof Geraldine 
Fitzpatrick and Prof Austen Rainer 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/services/academic-leadership-course/facilitators.html>. 
This will be a highly interactive, practical, experiential course by 
computer scientists for computer scientists. The course will combine 
participants’ experiences of leading in higher education with 
evidence-based positive leadership research. There will be opportunities 
for reflection through individual conversation, pair and small-group 
activity, and larger group discussion. The course will provide practical 
advice and guidelines on leadership in higher education.

*Target Audience & Outcomes*

This course is intended to develop new and emerging leaders in 
Informatics and Computing. This is particularly appropriate for 
early/middle career academics who have recently taken on substantive 
leadership roles. Indicative examples are project leader, group leader, 
theme leader, or head of an institute, school, faculty, department (or 
equivalent in your institution); or any other academic leadership 
service roles. It will also be beneficial for those considering such roles.

Takeaways from this course will include:

  * A clearer sense of your own leadership identity and style;
  * Strategies for self-care, self-management, life hacks, cognitive
    hacks, work-life integration, being a good role model;
  * An understanding of what makes people tick;
  * Strategies for identifying and developing people’s strengths and
    building a collegial culture;
  * Strategies for communicating powerfully through good attention,
    questions, listening, and dealing with challenging conversations;
  * An action plan for what to do next;
  * Opportunities to continue to engage with participants upon
    completion of the course.

All participants of the Academic Leadership Course will receive an 
Informatics Europe Certificate of attendance.
