We were excited to welcome a delegation of Technion Campus Leaders at our Institute in Garching this summer! The Technion Campus Leaders (TCL) program is a strategic initiative of Technion President Professor Uri Sivan. TLC follows the footsteps of a nation-wide program called Leaders in Academia whose mission it is to “establish and nurture a strong network of senior members of Universities, Colleges and research centers, capable of coping with the transformations that will ensure continuing academic excellence, innovation and social impact.” (leadershipinacademia.com).

We at ERI fully support the ambition of creating a network within and beyond academia to drive processes worldwide. 🤝

Thank you for visiting and sharing your experiences and perspectives with us! It was a truly inspiring afternoon. Special thanks also goes to our very own Siddharth Vedula for providing our guests with the full ERI experience.
