„Care and (Un)Fair?  Diskriminierung von Eltern in Forschungsförderprogrammen“

October 17, 2024 | 17 – 19:00 | Seminarzentrum der FU Berlin und online

Parents and caregivers experience drastic disadvantages in the German academic world. Discrimination can only be counteracted if this is made visible. We invite you to discuss the results and recommendations for action from our pilot study with us and our panel guests.

You can register for the event at this link.
You can find out more about the pilot study on our website.


DRIVERS (journal club online)

November 4, 2024 | ZOOM | Contact Kim Mason

Kim Mason (Cluster of Excellence NeuroCure, Equal Opportunity and Diversity) will introduce:

The Journal Club Diversity and Responsible Research and Innovation (DRIVERS) aims to foster monthly discussions on literature related to “Responsible Research and Innovation” (RRI) and Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) in science (Source, BIH). DRIVERS is jointly organized by BIH, BIH QUEST, ECN and NeuroCure.

We recommend that participants read the paper in advance. You will get more out of the journal club if you have read each paper.
