Study and training days on women’s and men’s careers in academia
Why are there still so few women in professorial and senior managerial positions in our universities?
On this question, the Equality Programme of the NCCR LIVES and the Equality Office of the University of Lausanne invite you to take part in the event “Questioning Excellence” during two half-days of reflection and training with European and Swiss experts of gender equality. A special focus will be set on policies taken in order to increase the proportion of women professors.
A training workshop is offered separately, after the event, for UNIL and EPFL members only.
