Sustainable Innovation and Leadership Accelerator (SILA)

As global awareness of the interconnected nature of economic, environmental, and social sustainability grows, media producers and distributors are under increasing pressure to both report on these issues and lead by example through responsible operations and innovative practices.

However, there is a significant gap in the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to navigate this complex landscape effectively.

The Sustainable Innovation and Leadership Accelerator (SILA) is designed to address these urgent and multifaceted challenges. By focusing on balanced sustainable leadership, SILA empowers media managers to drive positive change across economic, environmental, and social dimensions.

Offered by the University of Lancashire, UK, in association with the Thomson Foundation, University of Warsaw, Poland, University of Stellenbosch, SA, and a broader global network of industry and academic partners, SILA is a unique blend of research, advocacy, and professional development. It serves as a community of excellence for current and emerging news media managers across EMEA and beyond, equipping them to be responsible leaders who can inspire sustainable transformation within their organisations and in society.
