Great research deserves thoughtful leadership

Today, the four Theme Leaders of the Donders Institute came together to keep building our leadership as the Research Platform — the group that advises the Executive Board on research #strategy, shapes new interdisciplinary #initiatives, and #connects work across our six partner centres.

What makes this network distinctive is that it draws together researchers from the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, Radboud University, Radboudumc, the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, and the Centre for Language Studies. Our four themes exist precisely to link people across those institutional boundaries — enabling research no single centre could do alone.

Thank you to the Development Room and Judith Caanen for facilitating these sessions.

Investing in leadership is ultimately an investment in better collaboration and better science.
