Lab Leader Live, 18 May: Researchers from across UCL welcome

Funders are more likely to be encouraged by projects where there is a strong sense of leadership and development opportunities for the team. Therefore, this Zoom webinar will feature discussions with an expert panel who will discuss their own experiences, what approaches have worked well for them and their teams and why setting aside time for self-development and leadership is so important within the context of research projects.
