Announcing the Emerging Thought Leader Program

The George Institute for Global Health has established a new program. The emerging thought leader program is designed to develop selected George Institute researchers to share insights, expand the reach of their research, and drive impact in order to influence and inspire others to action.

Interested researchers submit an expression of interest, and those who are successful are selected with involvement from a cross section of senior management teams including Strategic Priority Leads, Global Advocacy and Policy Engagement, and Thought Leadership. There are two tiers, ‘Emerging Thought Leaders’, and ‘Rising Stars’ (for PhD candidates or those earlier in their career). The program is conducted over a 12-month timeframe, with training, editorial and production support provided for selected researchers as they develop a range of thought leadership items to further their research impact.
