The main objective of the event is to bring together decision makers and practitioners representing universities, research institutes and stakeholder organisations to discuss opportunities and challenges in implementing gender-balanced policy in academia and research environment. A particular attention will be paid to current policies and instruments, like recent developments relating to the #ERA and the forthcoming #HorizonEurope. Also, expect to see a glimpse into the best practices fostering an institutional change in terms of strengthening the gender equality in European science and research.

The #keynotespeech will be delivered by Mrs. Mariya Gabriel – European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education, Youth and Sport, followed by two panel discussions.
