Empowering women in research careers: Training early career researchers to promote gender equality

While women are increasingly pursuing research careers, they continue to face challenges in advancing to senior positions in research organisations. MINDtheGEPs offers specialised training programmes tailored for early-career researchers to address these challenges. Successful organisational change towards gender equality requires action on multiple organisational levels. Our training initiatives aim to empower early-career researchers in partner organisations both in terms of skills development and to help them contribute to a culture of gender equality within their organisations. We emphasise the importance of bottom-up approaches in driving organisational change, encouraging staff to become agents of change within their departments.
