Towards Equality in Science

Towards Equality in Science is a workshop for hiring and selection committees at the Faculty of Science organised by the Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (GenDi).

    General

    Background

    The faculty board has asked the Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (GenDi) to set up and organise a workshop to reduce inequality in the hiring and selection process. A subcommittee of GenDi (consisting of Herma Cuppen, Inge Bleijenbergh, Renate Loll, Colin Logie, Claudia Lüttke) carefully planned a training programme of half a day.

    Goals of the training

    • Create awareness on inequality in academia and the underlying processes contributing to it.
    • Create recognition of implicit bias at several stages in the hiring and selection process in themselves and others.
    • Inspire BAC members to have concrete ideas on how to structure an inclusive recruitment and selection process.
