(E)QUALITY 2009: Nordic conference on gender equality in research

Quality in research is important. But what do we actually mean by quality? How can it be measured and strengthened? And what role does gender play in this? The relation between gender equality and quality in research will be the main theme at the Nordic conference on research policy: (E)QUALITY 2009, which will be held in Oslo, March 23-24, 2009.

A number of key actors within research policy and prominent researchers from the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe are invited to discuss gender equality in academia, the concept of excellence and the outstanding research of the future. The programme comprises, among other things, talks by the European commission’s Deputy Director-general and a panel debate with representatives from the national research councils in the Nordic countries. NIKK is co-organising the conference.

Note that the deadline for registration is February 20, 2009.
