DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hilde Janssens\nWorkshop on "Academic Mobility for women s
 cientists"Description and objectives\nAcademic mobility comes in two main 
 flavours: accepting a research position abroad\, and short-term travelling
  for collaborations\, meetings or fieldwork. Both can provide great opport

 adays even seen as an essential requirement in many cases. We will discuss
  opportunities\, challenges and impact of academic mobility. Participants

  short-term travelling. They will be encouraged to self-reflect in order t
 o make a grounded decision regarding mobility in their own lives.Objective
