LNVH Spring Symposium – The Inclusive University: Walking the Talk

Each year, LNVH welcomes PhDs, postdocs, assistant/associate and full professors from Dutch universities and university medical centres, as well as policy makers and policy advisors at the LNVH Spring Symposium. This year our Spring Symposium will take place on Friday, June 14th 2024 between 12:00 and 18:00 CEST at The Colour Kitchen in Utrecht. This year’s theme is ‘The Inclusive University: Walking the Talk’.

Theme

This year’s theme is ‘The Inclusive University‘. The percentages of women in the higher echelons and academic management at universities are increasing. However, a strong focus on the betterment of the position of women in academia and prevention of the outflow of women academics is still necessary, as indicated for example by the declining growth percentages of women professors in the Monitor 2023. How do we maintain this focus on the equal representation of women? How do we achieve the betterment of the position of all women in academia, regardless of their background? And how do we monitor which women actually progress to top positions in academia? How do we ensure that broader D&I policies complement policies focused on women and vice versa? How do we create an inclusive university where all talent thrives? We will discuss these – and many more – topics with our keynote speakers, our panelists, and hopefully also with you. Working language of the event will be English.
