Uni-Tübingen
Startup:Yourself – Leadership Talent Academy (LTA)

Applications for batch #2 (Sept-Nov 2024) can be submitted now!


Program Overview: Are you in academia and wondering about your future? Do you want to realize your own ideas, take on responsibility and aspire to a leadership role?

The Startup:Yourself – Leadership Talent Academy (LTA) helps you to find out whether you are a leader and provides you with valuable qualifications for a future leadership role in science, industry or as an entrepreneur. In workshops and individual coaching sessions, the LTA program focuses on personal strengths, people and leadership skills. We award 20 scholarships supported by the Karl Schlecht Stiftung (KSG). After successful completion, each participant will receive a certificate. 

Setup: The program consists of 3 modules, each lasting 3 days (Friday, 5pm to Sunday, 4pm) over a period of 3 months. In addition to intensive workshops, you are entitled to up to 8 hours of individual coaching sessions with experienced trainers and coaches. The workshop language is English.

Target group: Academics (with a master’s degree or higher) with leadership potential and an inner drive and passion to make bold changes. 

Offsite location: The first module takes place offsite, away from your everyday life, so that you can focus solely on your personal journey. Be aware that the scholarships include all costs except a contribution towards the expenses of the overnight accommodation.
