How can I overcome gender-based barriers?
Men don’t want to stay at home with their children and have to financially care for the family? Women are too emotional for a leading position and are not interested in technical topics? We all know this kind of prejudices, sometimes they are covered by biased behaviour and sometimes they are openly pronounced. At some point in our life we will all be confronted with gender-based barriers - regardless of being a man or a woman. One of our main objectives in organizing this conference is to provide space for discussions and exchange of experience. You can get creative ideas for dealing with this confrontations and barriers from peers in the same situations and from already more experienced people. Come and share your thoughts, get inspired, show and learn how versatile science, career, family, women and men can be. Diversity is awesome!
