IAU-EWORA: Tackling the Leaky Pipeline in Academic Leadership
14:00 CET, 5 March 2024
In honor of International Women’s Day 2024, the IAU and EWORA organized a webinar to discuss the challenges that remain for gender equality in academic institutions, including invisible barriers and the notorious ’glass ceiling’ that prevents women from progressing to senior positions. University leaders have the responsibility to put in place policies that actively encourage and support staff in their career paths and professional development. University leaders and experts in the field from IAU and EWORA Member universities presented examples of good practice and institutional and organisational perspectives.
