Professor of Leadership Development, Rotterdam School of Management Hannes Leroy is interested in authentic leadership and how to develop it. That interest includes not only a passionate and critical view of the concept of authenticity but his past work also includes a better understanding of its unique outcomes (e.g., safety, error hiding and work engagement), antecedents (e.g., mindfulness training), and similarities and differences from related concepts (i.e., leader behavioral integrity, leader communication transparency). On the development side he is passionate about authenticity both in terms of developing leaders to use their unique or authentic self as a source of their leadership strength as well as the idea of real (i.e., actually moving the needle) leadership development.
Group Leader, Department of Archaeogenetics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology I am a population geneticist who develops and applies computational tools to analyze genomic data. A key research interest of mine is the study of human ancient DNA. This field is rapidly growing - by now thousands of genomes of humans who lived thousands of years ago are being published every single year. I develop new ways to study these ancient genomes and make computational tools available to other researchers. Currently, I hold a junior group leader position at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany), and I build up a research group in this field.

Professorial Research Fellow, School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, The University of Queensland My research career has been informed by my clinical practice in nutrition science and dietetics. I trained as a paediatric dietitian at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne and completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne in 1999. I gained international experience in education and research at the University of Surrey, UK, where I coordinated the dietetics program, led the first evaluation in simulated practice and managed several large clinical trials. I returned to Australia in 2006 and spent a couple of years at the Children’s Nutrition Research Centre at Herston before I was appointed to the Chair of Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University where I founded and led the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food for 10 years. I moved to the University of Queensland in 2020, where I am a Professorial Research Fellow. My latest project which disseminates free evidence-based food and nutrition information for the Under 5's, can be found at www.growandgotoolbox.com. I hold Honorary Professor appointments at Monash University and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. I am a Fellow of the Nutrition Society of Australia and Fellow of the Association of Nutrition (UK), and an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian.
Honorary Research Associate, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington Hilary Stace has a long involvement with autism and advocacy issues. She researched New Zealand autism policy for her 2011 PhD and found that complex, often contradictory understandings of autism and approaches signalled that autism could be considered a wicked policy problem. Current research interests include disability, particularly autism and intellectual impairment, ethics (history, policy etc), New Zealand history, particularly disability, education, women, activism, politics etc.
Associate Professor, Department of Music, University of Nottingham I completed my PhD in Musicology at the University of Cambridge (2012). Following a Junior Research Fellowship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, I taught for five years at Yale University, where I was jointly affiliated to the Department of Music and Institute of Sacred Music. My expertise is in the musical and religious cultures of medieval Western Europe, with special attention to Christian liturgical chant (including Gregorian Chant) and sacred polyphony, and the forms of worship in which they were was sung. I am fascinated above all by the men and women who created, memorised, disseminated and discussed music in the distant past, by the experiential dimensions of medieval worship (especially the Divine Office), and by the role of writing as both an enabler and an inhibitor of musical creativity in Western Music.
