Research Leadership Development Consortium (RLDC)
The Business School leads the Research Leadership Development Consortium – a network that designs and organises development events that strengthen and support research leadership in the social sciences.
The aim of the RLDC is to organise development events that strengthen and support research leadership in the social sciences. Leadership development activities are designed to support social science researchers in an increasingly interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and fast-changing landscape. Our objective is to explore enablers and opportunities for professional connectivity, impactful networking, quality research co-production, mentorship and capacity building. Our audience is typically made up of mid-career and experienced researchers who are, or will soon be, responsible for leading research teams, centres and projects.
