Organise a course at your institute

We found EMBO Lab Leadership to be a friendly, helpful and professional company to deal with.  They were able to quickly organise an online training session for our Early Career Researchers that was very well received and we plan on organising further training sessions in the coming year.

Over 100 of Sanger’s Postdocs and other Early Career Researchers (ECRs) have participated in the EMBO Lab Leadership Course for Postdocs , which we have been holding regularly on our Campus since 2020. Transitioning to leadership can be a daunting time, but our Postdocs consistently report the Course as critical preparation. They frequently praise the knowledge, skill and talent of the facilitators in creating a safe, open and fun learning environment where real-life challenges are addressed. This collaborative culture extends far beyond the Course; ongoing peer support empowers our Postdocs to apply their new found leadership skills, meaning we at the Wellcome Sanger Institute benefit from the Course as much as our Postdocs and their future employers.

We have established a strong and effective relationship with the EMBO Team through the delivery of their Laboratory Leadership for Group Leaders Programme on Liverpool’s campus over the past six years. Their willingness to incorporate feedback and integrate Liverpool’s policies and values into the programme has made it more relatable, enabling participants to apply these principles within their own groups. The programme has been very well received, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.
