GenderAct - A Project for Cultural Change and Gender Balance

Local Balance Work

Through the participation project GenderAct the faculty aims to inspire and facilitate local gender-balance efforts at the institute-level. We also want to assist our leaders in facilitating evidence-based cultural change. Enhancing equality in the context of a well-functioning research organization provides material benefits. It bestows greater legitimacy and contributes to increased innovation capacity, value creation and competitiveness.

Here you will find E-learning course about gender balance and unconscious bias for use in the process of recruiting new employees.

The Research Council's grant for the project expired 31.12.22, but the faculty will continue the work with GenderAct.
