Spotlight sessions

Short bite-size online events to get new ideas and discuss them with peers

https://edin.ac/4cs5cFhSpotlight sessions are short bite-size online events aimed at PIs and research leaders that offer an opportunity to enhance your leadership capabilities, obtain information, connect with peers across the institution, and build your professional network.  If you’re short on time and just want the key ideas, and time to think and discuss how to use them in practice, then these sessions are for you!
