Submitted by arroyo_lidia on Mon, 12/05/2016 - 14:25

Watch this new video with Dr. Gerlind Wallon, Deputy Director of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) on how to push forward with gender equality measures in academic organizations.

Dr. Gerlind Wallon shares EMOS's experience and expertise in terms of implementing gender equality measures. She gives three illustrative examples of using quotas in research institutions: during recruitment processes, for scientific committees and participation in research funding decisions. For each one of these type of quotas, Gerlind Wallon analyses advantages and disadvantages.

Please note that GenPORT will host an e-discussion the 13th of December 2016 14:00-16:30 CET  regarding the “Recruitment and Promotion of Women Researchers”. The e-discussion counts on invited experts from Europe, the US and South Africa and aims at facilitating an international exchange of experiences regarding gender equality measures for science careers. It provides a welcome opportunity to delve deeper into the issues raised by Gerlind Wallon in her video.
