This two-day online event brings together researchers, students, institutional actors, and equality bodies to explore the challenges, barriers, and future pathways for women in research and academic careers. The workshop promotes reflection and dialogue on gender equality, inclusion, and representation in science and academia.
As part of Day 2 (3 July 2025), we will host an interactive game session to open the floor for a round table discussion on gender, equality, and the generation gap.
