European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers asks academics to share their stories
The European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers is planning a campaign to promote greater gender equality in academia.
Eurodoc’s initiative, timed to coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March, aims to promote the belief that “everyone, men included, should be encouraged to stand up to create greater gender equality in their research environment”.
The group, an international federation of organisations representing PhD candidates and junior researchers across the EU, is asking researchers who want a more inclusive academia to contribute through social media or by filling out an online form.
Participants are being asked to answer four questions, including about why they went into research and why gender equality is important to them.
The initiative expands on the group’s Women in Research campaign, which launched in 2023 with the aim of challenging stereotypes.
