Round-table lunch meeting 02 June '15
On Tuesday June 2nd 2015, the Halkes Women Faculty Network organized another of her round-table lunch meetings.
Forty participants from different stages in their career (PhD candidates to associate professors) and five expert table chairs (a.o. career coaches, counselor, experienced expat) came together in the Foyer of the Gymnasium to discuss one of the central topics:
work-life balance; staying in or going out of academia; bullying and harassment; expat experience.
Notably, 50% of the registered participants had chosen 'staying in or going out of academia' as their topic of preference; 29% had chosen it as their second topic. This is a clear indication that this is a topic of relevance for the large group of female early career researchers at our university.
