Info about event

Time

Wednesday 26 September 2012,  at 13:30 - 16:30

Location

Aarhus University, conference room 2, building 1421


The event forms part of the project STAGES (Structural Transformation to Achieve Gender Equality in Science), which is funded by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme. The project takes as its starting point the under-representation of women in high-ranking positions within Research and Technology. The aim is, over a four-year period, to promote gender equality at five European research institutions: Aarhus University, Fraunhofer Institute, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Milan.

The workshop will focus on structural changes and diversity management as tools to overcome obstacles to women's academic careers, especially the possibility of rising through the ranks.

Keynote speakers:

• Anne Pépin, Interim Director of the Mission for the Place of Women at CNRS, France

• Helene Füger, Head of Equal Opportunities & Coordinator of Eument-net, Fribourg University, Switzerland

• Louise Gade, Deputy Director of Human Resources, Aarhus University

Registration deadline: 20 September 2012. Registration form and programme for the workshop are available at: http://cfa.au.dk/en/news-and-events/events/
