  • Expand and apply the participant’s knowledge on gender equality in research and innovation.
  • Understand the GE Academy processes in view of becoming part of the Pan-European network of gender trainers.

The participation is free of charge and selected attendees will be presented the opportunity to furtherly engage with GE Academy by becoming trainers and co-trainers to its upcoming session.
