Conference on women's scientific careers, Paris, France
26 November 2009 - 26 November 2009
France
The second international PROMETEA ('Empowering women engineers' careers in industrial and academic research') conference on women's scientific careers will be held in Paris, France on 26 and 27 November.
Organised by two French partners of the EU-funded PROMETEA Network, the Conference of the Deans of French Engineering Schools (CDEFI) and the French equal opportunities association ECEPIE, the event intends to:
- create opportunities of exchange between researchers;
- take stock of the situation of women in engineering and evaluate the impact of public policies and of new corporate practices on their careers (more flexibility, development of teleworking, blurring of the border line between private life and work, gender-neutral parental leaves, day care services);
- encourage the emergence of new social models better adapted to the reality of contemporary social life.For further information, please visit:
