The launching of the European Women Researchers Day will take place on 28 March 2014, with events being held at the National Center for Scientific Research, France and the University of “Alexandru Ioan Cuza”, Iasi, Romania. Partner organisations will join the events on site and via videoconferences and the internet.
The objective of this first edition of the European Women Researchers Day is to contribute to the career development of women researchers by providing them with role models and by creating an international context for exchange of good practice and networking. The focus will be on providing career development information and examples of women researchers’ career paths. The activities that will take place were identified based on the baseline data analysis carried out by organisations, and thus respond to needs expressed by women researchers.
The European Women Researchers Day 2014 brings together institutions involved in European Union FP7-funded projects on the promotion of Gender Equality through structural change, participating in joint activities and working towards a common statement.
