We are pleased to announce the release of the new, enlarged edition of *Towards Scientific Leadership* by Hans Niemantsverdriet and Jan Karel Felderhof (ISBN: 9783111325316). This updated version, subtitled “Personal Development Advice for Young Academics,” has been significantly expanded from the original *Scientific Leadership* book published in 2017 by De Gruyter in Berlin.

The book has been enriched with contributions from esteemed scholars, including Michael Claeys (University of Cape Town), Abhaya Datye (University of New Mexico), Anton Hemerijck (European University Institute), Graham Hutchings (Cardiff University), Yong-Wang Li (Synfuels China Technology), and Jens Rostrup-Nielsen^† (formerly of Topsoe A/S). Their expertise adds depth and diverse perspectives, from which young academics can benefit significantly.

Essential principles in leadership development are described and have been condensed into several concise schemes. Readers can readily inventory their career positions through these schemes and draw up to-the-point, executable plans for their careers and nearby goals. The plan’s design revolves around staying alert and up to date with emerging threats and opportunities.

Since its debut in 2017, this book has been recognised as an essential guide for aspiring scholars eager to enhance their personal and professional journeys. Don’t miss the opportunity to empower your academic career with this remarkable resource!
