The following are reflections from past program participants:
While I learned a lot about innovation and
science communication, I also made many new
friends from around the world. The CAS Future
Leaders program provided a great platform of
exchange that I have never experienced before.
Torsten John, doctoral candidate, Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering, CAS
Future Leader 2017
The CAS Future
Leaders program is
an experience that
empowers emerging
scientists across
the globe by valuing
different experiences
and backgrounds. It’s
unlike any other event
I have participated in.
Manuela Jörg, research fellow, Monash
University, and cofounder, Scientists without
Labels, CAS Future Leader 2015
You will start the
intense training
with a broad range
of chemists and
chemical engineers
from all over the world,
learning all the skills
needed to become
a future leader,
from storytelling to
policy to the use of
social media. You
will end the program
as family, with all
the skills needed to
lead by example.
Dannie van Osch, chief business
officer, Vertoro, and postdoc, Eindhoven
University of Technology, CAS Future
Leader 2019
Participating in the
CAS Future Leaders
program taught me
the importance of
being intentional with
my leadership across
various platforms.
In the weeks that I
spent in the program,
it provided me with
versatile tools to
grow and become an
impactful leader. It was
truly a transformative
experience.
Mahlet Garedew, postdoc, Yale
University, CAS Future Leader 2019
The program provided a unique platform to learn about various career options, including
in academia, industry, and publishing. It also significantly widened my international
networks such that after this program, I underwent internships in Japan and Australia,
as I was keen to experience how diverse scientific cultures around the world are!
