| The course is aimed at high-achieving PhD students from IARU universities (the International Alliance of Research Universities), who are interested in viewing their own role in a broader perspective, and interested in forming the future. Not only within their own research field, but also for the university as a whole and for society. Focus will be on the concept of academic leadership related to the role of universities, national and international university policies, and different governance issues related to these roles, e.g. academic freedom, student and faculty involvement, planning of research, education, teaching, knowledge transfer to society, innovation, internal administration, government services, globalization, interaction with university owners. The course will include lectures by a number of internationally recognized experts as well as personal interaction with high level university leaders. Networking among IARU PhD students is another key-objective. The participants from University of Copenhagen are expected to act as hosts for PhD students from the IARU partners during their stay in Denmark (during the internship at Nødebo Campus and in the week after the course, as the IARU PhD students may extend their stay to visit researchers at University of Copenhagen). The course will include lectures by a number of internationally recognized experts as well as personal interaction with high level university leaders from the IARU partners, mainly University of Copenhagen and the Australian National University. Content: - Lectures on theoretical knowledge of the concept and role of a university and the different academic leadership and governance issues related to these roles. - Workshops on academic leadership roles. - Interaction with university leaders at different levels and from different universities. - Writing of an essay on a specific issue based on a leadership topic (e.g. research leadership, policy implementation, governance of bachelor education, alumni program, financial administration etc). Work Load: The work load for only taking the first or second part (3 ECTS each) is estimated to 85 hours: Lectures 20, Theoretical exercises 20, Preparation 25, Assignment 15, evaluation and seminars 5. The third part (1½ ECTS) is estimated to 45 hours). Economy: Cost and accommodation is covered by University of Copenhagen during section 1 at the Forestry College at Nødebo Campus for all PhD students from University of Copenhagen and IARU-partners. Travel grants of DKK 15.000 will be available for up to 6 PhD students from University of Copenhagen for their participation in section 2 in Australia. The grants will be awarded by the course organizers among interested applicants. Further information can be found at the course registration form (see homepage).
