Seminar: Encouragement to Advance -Training Seminars for Women Scientists
A new programme 'Encouragement to Advance -Training Seminars for Women Scientists' intends to empower women scientists within the European Research Area (ERA), offering training on appointment procedures for professorships in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Trainings encourage mobility and supranational careers in research and higher education.
Seminars are accessible for women scientists from all disciplines, who do not yet hold a position as a tenure professor but are qualified for appointments. Women scientists from countries participating in the 7th
European RTD framework programme can take part in the programme. Participants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree for four to six years, speak English and the national language of the country they wish to work in fluently, and have an understanding of the general landscape of academia in the country aimed at.
Each four-day-long seminar provides a surplus of knowledge due to international appointment procedures, supervision of effective professorial lectures, and training of how to conduct negotiations at universities committees; examination of application documents; individual support in career strategies development and career-objectives, as well as finding ones own benefit in an international academic landscape. Participants enter a Europe-wide network of women scientists subsequent to the seminar. On the fourth day of training information focuses on European dimensions of science and research. Experts give insights on European research policy, European Commissions 7th framework programme and the European Platform of Women Scientist EPWS.
The project Encouragement to Advance - Training Seminars for Women Scientists is supported by the European Commissions 6th RTD framework programme. An overall of 16 seminars, of 14 participants each, are held in Brussels from April 2007 until January 2008. Trainings are held in English or German, due to participants needs.
