We’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the Resilience Leadership Accelerator Programme.
This programme, organised by Life Sciences Hub Wales, in collaboration with the Resilience Programme, and funded by Innovate UK, aims to identify and nurture the next generation of leaders in the medicines manufacturing industry.
Led by Dr Tony Bradshaw from Biosocius Ltd, the programme offers a unique opportunity for aspiring future leaders from both industry and academia, including early career leaders, late-stage PhD candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and early career professionals. Participants will engage in two sequential My Future Plan (MFP) workshops, combining psychometric profiling, personal reflection, and applied leadership skills development.
The programme aims to increase self-awareness of personal behaviour traits and skills, identify optimal career strategies, develop resilience and emotional intelligence for leadership roles, equip participants with essential early-career leadership and communication skills, and foster collaboration and peer learning across academia and industry.
Find out more about the programme structure here.
Eight places are available for the Wales-based cohort, ensuring a highly personalised experience. Participants will be selected via an open Expression of Interest process and assessed against set criteria. Successful applicants are expected to act in an ambassadorial role for both the partner organisations and the wider Resilience Programme.
Applications for the Wales-based cohort are now open and can be submitted here.
A panel of expert stakeholders will prioritise applications, with the top candidates offered funded places first. Applications close on the 14th of November 2025, with eight places offered by the 1st of December.
This programme is part of a UK-wide RESILIENCE Programme. Participants in the Wales cohort will have the opportunity to attend other Leadership Accelerator sessions across the UK, subject to travel for in-person meetings. Resilience Skills - Leadership Accelerator.
