About this series:
Climate science is no longer just about generating knowledge. Today's scientists are increasingly called upon to lead interdisciplinary teams, navigate complex stakeholder relationships, communicate across boundaries, secure resources, and help shape responses to some of society's most pressing challenges.
Join a community of accomplished climate scientists for a series of interactive leadership workshops hosted by Climate Praxis and supported by the National Science Foundation.
Designed for early- and mid-career scientists with a PhD, this workshop series explores the leadership skills that can amplify scientific impact—both within and beyond academia. The series builds on insights from an 18-month NSF-sponsored professional development program that brought together leading climate scientists from institutions across North America.
The tools and frameworks featured in these workshops were selected because participants found them immediately useful in their own work—whether leading research groups, managing collaborations, mentoring students, navigating institutional challenges, or advancing ambitious scientific initiatives.
This is not a lecture series. Expect engaging discussions, practical exercises, and opportunities to connect with peers who are grappling with many of the same leadership challenges and opportunities.
