Here are the upcoming sessions:

▶️ October 30 at 12:00 CET: How to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – Key learnings from a tour of Technical Universities in Europe and the US by Kai Lo Andersson (Chalmers)

What can ENHANCE learn from leading technical universities around the world? In this Lunchinar, Kai Lo Andersson (Chalmers) will present insights from their research, based on interviews with experts at top-ranked institutions in Europe and the US. Together, we will reflect on the findings and ask the questions: Are we doing better than others? Worse? Or are we just average? Join us for an engaging presentation and honest discussion on how ENHANCE can do better?

▶️ November 17 at 12:00 CET: Understanding Neurodiversity by Dr. Łukasz Sienkiewicz from Gdańsk Tech (confirmed) and Maria Alfonso Molina from UPV (not yet confirmed)

What is neurodiversity affecting 15–20% of people. Why does this topic receive significantly less attention so far? How can an organization become more open to neurodiversity inclusion? Dr. Łukasz Sienkiewicz from Gdańsk Tech will share insights on what makes organizations truly neurodiversity-inclusive. Together with Maria Alfonso Molina from UPV (Invited, not yet confirmed) also making research on Neurodiversity, we will discuss why neuro-inclusion matters and where ENHANCE stands today. Come and discuss with us. 

▶️ We are currently working on a Lunchinar in November about Gender-based Violence in Academia. More information will be added in the next days. 

Stay tuned!
