Diversity and inclusion in research are not HR challenges; they’re research management and governance challenges. Diversity Leadership for Research Managers is the first practical guide addressing diversity literacy specifically for research managers and administrators, wherever they work in the world.

The book explores why diversity and internationalisation are deeply intertwined, how to lead with cultural intelligence across the full research lifecycle, and how to build inclusive research support offices that drive real impact. It is both a strategic development tool and a daily reference, something you can read cover to cover or pull from the shelf when facing a specific challenge.

Written by Jakob Feldtfos Christensen, director of DIVERSIunity, and drawing on his work, the podcast and interviews with research managers from across the globe, this is a practical, pragmatic and honest guide for professionals who want to move the diversity agenda forward in research.

While aimed at research managers and administrators, the book is relevant for everybody in the research ecosystem involved in international research collaborations.
