GENERA Gender in Physics Day Austria

GENERA is a Horizon 2020 funded project to promote the implementation of gender equality plans in research and funding organizations in the field of physics which is – despite differences between countries and sub-fields of physics - characterized by a low representation of women. The main objective is therefore to propose and create organisational structures allowing physics research in Europe to benefit from the greater presence of talented women at all levels, and which can open up more opportunities for women to create successful careers in physics research and in related fields. The Consortium consists of 13 partners and 3 associated partners and 11 observers.

What are the aims of the GENERA Gender in Physics Day?

The Gender in Physics Day is aiming to raise the awareness for gender inequality in physics and what can be done against it. Therefore, it will discuss the reasons for the underrepresentation of women in physics but will also highlight possible strategies and measures how to create a more gender equal work environment and culture in physics research organizations. We have, therefore, invited recognized experts on gender equality in physics who will present their findings and relevant strategies for change.
