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.
Participation

The faculty board requires all internal members of hiring and selection committees with a permanent contract to have completed the training.
