The second online event of the “Empowering women in science within Europe with emphasis on the Danube Region” project of the Academia Europaea Budapest Knowledge Hub offers a free interactive online leadership coaching session. The event will be led by Andrea Tamási who is a professional women leadership coach.

Title and brief outline of the session: Discover your authentic leadership voice through the power of leadership archetypes

Women leaders continue to navigate complex challenges that shape both their confidence and their desire to lead. But what does authentic leadership truly look like for you? In this short, interactive session, we’ll explore 12 leadership archetypes to help you identify your natural leadership style. You’ll uncover the core elements of your authentic leadership voice—laying the foundation for a distinctive and confident executive presence.

We expect active participation at the event – therefore participants will be asked to:

• Join breakout rooms
• Share their thoughts in the chat
• Turn on their cameras

Date and time: 6 February 2026, 9:30-11:45 CET, with a 15 min break
Format: Online

The workshop will address leadership challenges faced by women in academia and research (in STEM, social sciences, and humanities) and will foster a supportive environment for shared learning and peer exchange, empowering participants to develop individualized leadership strategies.

The event is open to researchers of all genders. However, should the number of registrations exceed capacity, priority may be given to researchers from genders that are underrepresented in scientific leadership positions.

Registration by February 5.

In the frame of the From Knowledge to Action initiative, the Academia Europaea Budapest Knowledge Hub launched 29 different research projects in 2025. The aim of the “Empowering women in science within Europe with emphasis on the Danube Region” project coordinated by Eszter Gselmann (University of Debrecen, Hungary) and Katalin Solymosi (ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary) is to increase the visibility of women in science in the region and to support their career development. The first workshop of this initiative provided insights into how to prepare and edit Wikipedia pages.
