Gender bias in academia poses significant barriers for female researchers, regardless of whether they have children or not. These biases can detrimentally impact women’s careers and, consequently, diminish the cluster's competitive edge and scientific reputation. Therefore, we are committed to offering activities such as workshops, trainings, and talks aimed at increasing awareness of unconscious gender bias and combating gender stereotypes in academia.

• • • Workshop "Unconscious bias: Why we are all biased" by Isabel Fraas and Andrea Bähr (JMU Würzburg)
    • Talk "Unconscious bias: how it impacts careers in science and how to mitigate this influence" by Prof. Petra Rudolph (University of Groningen)
    • Interactive talk "Daring to face the unknown: diversity, dignity, and hidden bias" with a survey by Inna Zeitler
    • Internal data analysis of the survey results by Inna Zeitler
    • Follow-up presentation of the data analysis and recommendations for action by Inna Zeitler
    • Follow-up Individual coaching for overcoming personal biases by Inna Zeitler
