LEAD Academic Network

The LEAD Academic Network is an international and interdisciplinary platform of collaboration among academics and academic leaders for discussing and sharing theory, practice and research on academic leadership and university governance. The Network aims to support the advancement of academic leadership through research-based knowledge and networked learning, and to create a community with shared interests of producing and disseminating academic leadership knowledge and experiences, and linking research to academic leadership practices.

The LEAD Academic Network is established in November 2022, building on the results of two EU-funded projects, the LEAD and LEAD2 projects. UNICA was one of the projects partners of the first LEAD project.

The mission of the LEAD Academic Network is to become a major networked community and a center of excellence in academic leadership research and a source of innovative best practices.
