DIES LEADx – Leadership for Transforming Higher Education Institutions is an international leadership programme designed for female Vice Presidents Presidents—or women in equivalent senior management positions—from higher education institutions in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia. The programme empowers participants to drive institutional transformation through inclusive and collaborative leadership. Through five modules in a blended learning format, participants develop their leadership skills, implement Change Initiatives, and engage in international peer exchange.
DIES LEADx is implemented by the University of Potsdam, under the Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies (DIES) programme, which is jointly coordinated by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK), and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). DIES LEADx is carried out in partnership with a regional advisory board consisting of higher education organisations from the target regions: the ASEAN University Network - Gender, Justice and Inclusion Thematic Network (AUN-GJI), Espacio Latinoamericano y Caribeño de Educación Superior (ENLACES), the Inter-University Council of East Africa (IUCEA), and the Southern African Regional Universities Association (SARUA).
