Equality in STEMM-Academia?

Welcome to this international conference organised by Lund University and the League of European Research Universities (LERU) being held on 4-5 October in Lund.

The themes of the conference will be:

  • Progress for women in science, technology and medicine. What may work and what does not? Are there working “check-lists” to follow to create better conditions?
  • Best practices that work. Are there good examples we can learn from?
  • What is the fore-front in gender and diversity within science, technology and medicine? What is the latest in research and how can it be implemented?
