This paper outlines the characteristics of scientific leadership and the role of Scientific Associations with their specific activities. The recent activities of the Lombard Academy of Public Health are subsequently described, including the creation, in 2019, of the Academy of young leaders in public health. Comparing to other sectors, scientific leadership dynamics take into consideration different aspects. Besides awards (Nobel Prize or several other) and prestigious affiliations, eventual indicators might be academic roles, fundraising abilities, relevant positions among scientific associations, editors of prestigious journals or editorial series and, more recently, high bibliometric indicators. The peculiar topics of public health encompass interactions with institutions, authorities, politicians, involved in different levels in health policies. Recently, in Italy, the Ministry of Health has identified parameters to be accreditated as a scientific and technical association. The role of SItI (Italian Society of Hygiene), EUPHA, ASPHER, and WFPHA appears relevant in PH, in national and international contexts, with Italian praiseworthy members constantly achieving leading roles. Considering that few training opportunities aimed to improve research and leadership skills are available, (ALSP) designed the AYLPH (Academy of Young Leaders in Public Health) program. AYLPH program is a 1-year training to shape leadership skills among young professionals. A set of didactic, theoretical and practical methods was offered and evaluated.
本文概述了科学领导力的特征以及科学协会通过其特定活动所发挥的作用。随后描述了伦巴第公共卫生学院最近的活动，包括2019年创建的公共卫生青年领袖学院。与其他领域相比，科学领导力动态考虑了不同方面。除了奖项（诺贝尔奖或其他几个奖项）和享有声望的附属机构外，最终指标可能包括学术角色、筹资能力、在科学协会中的相关职位、著名期刊或编辑系列的编辑，以及最近的高文献计量指标。公共卫生的特殊主题包括与参与不同层面卫生政策的机构、当局、政治家的互动。最近，在意大利，卫生部已经确定了被认可为科学技术协会的参数。意大利卫生学会（SItI）、欧洲公共卫生协会（EUPHA）、欧洲公共卫生教育与研究协会（ASPHER）和世界公共卫生协会联盟（WFPHA）在国家和国际背景下的公共卫生领域所发挥的作用似乎很重要，意大利值得称赞的成员不断担任领导角色。考虑到旨在提高研究和领导技能的培训机会很少，（ALSP）设计了公共卫生青年领袖学院（AYLPH）项目。AYLPH项目是一项为期一年的培训，旨在培养年轻专业人员的领导技能。提供并评估了一套教学、理论和实践方法。
