The main theme at this conference will be the relation between equality and quality in research, and the programme comprises, among other things, research on women in science, presentation by the European commission’s Deputy Director-general and a panel debate with representatives from the national research councils in the Nordic countries.
“Quality in research is important. But what do we actually mean by quality? How can it be measured and strengthened? And what role does gender play in this?
A number of key actors within research policy and prominent researchers from the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe are invited to discuss gender equality in academia, the concept of excellence and the outstanding research of the future.
The programme comprises, among other things, talks by the European commission’s Deputy Director-general and a panel debate with representatives from the national research councils in the Nordic countries.”
Deadline for registration is February 20, 2009.
