Gender Equality & Equal Opportunities
In brief
The “Gender Equality & Equal Opportunities” committee aims to implement actions to inform and act in favor of gender equality within the NeuroPSI institute.
- To conduct a survey at NeuroPSI on gender representation at different career levels
- To communicate and sensitize NeuroPSI members to gender biases (conference-debates, roundtables…)
- To promote women scientists (invite women scientists to the Institute’s conferences, encourage female PhD students to apply for the L’Oréal-UNESCO Young Talents France for Women in Science Award, encourage NeuroPSI women scientists to apply for promotions, etc.)
- Establish a Mentoring program and a women’s club to promote exchanges on the subject within NeuroPSI
