We are very excited to celebrate International Women's Day with you this March.
We have a bunch of inspiring events planned and hope to see all of you there. (You don't need to be a woman or international to participate, all are welcome!)
Our main event will be on 05/03/20. We are excited to welcome two excellent speakers to our Seminar (12:00, BICR Lecture Theatre) on exploring the changing research culture and how this intersects with equality and diversity, Professor Josephine Bunch (NPL Fellow in Biomolecular Analysis and leader of the CRUK Grand Challenge Rosetta team) and Dr Diego Benedict Baptista (Diversity and Inclusion Adviser on Research Culture, Wellcome Trust).
One of the key points will be exploring how it might be possible to introduce more inclusive hallmarks of performance whilst still promoting academic excellence and cutting edge science, and how the team science agenda has impacted on this both positively and negatively. The speakers and topic will be introduced by Chris Halsey who is currently the chair of the ICS AthenaSWAN Committee.
