Women in Science

The share of female university professors is lower in Denmark compared to the other Nordic countries and lower than the EU and OECD average. This lower utilization of female talent at the highest levels of Danish research is not beneficial for Denmark. We have to bring the best talents in play if we are to survive as a knowledge-based society in an increasingly international competitive world (Recommendations from the Taskforce for More Women in Science, 2015).

To increase the focus on this issue, we hereby invite you to a workshop with the following objective:

Objective:  Promotion of a more even women:men ratio at all our carrier positions at the AU departments in Roskilde.
