Networking for female scientists workshop

Over the past decades, various strategies have been used to encourage more women to pursue careers in academia. Seeing more women in leadership positions gives young female scientists the role models they need, because “you can’t be what you can’t see” (Marian Wright Edelman).

In order to overcome the remaining inequalities in academia, we need to be aware of the tools that promote our own careers. Networking is one of these tools. In fact, it is often referred to as the most effective career management tool. Studies show that 70 to 90 % of satisfactory positions within and outside academia are found through appropriate self-promotion and networking.
