The Faculty of Business and Social Sciences offers financial support for initiatives that promote gender equality. The aim is to overcome gender-specific career barriers on both an individual and organisational level.
The pool is available to both technical/administrative staff and academic staff, and you can apply either as an individual or as a group. Group activities can be targeted at various organisational units, for example, research groups, a department or the entire Faculty.
Examples of supported projects include individual coaching, networking activities or guest presenters.
