SiE10 - Thursday 27 June, 12:00 – 13:00 CEST, in the Roundtable Hall, at the Messe Wien, Austria.
In an era of global research collaboration, meetings and conferences are important platforms where major - sometimes career-altering - connections and interactions are taking place. Fostering diversity and inclusivity within these public forums is therefore critical to ultimately cultivate more supportive workplaces.
This workshop, led by a training expert, is a unique opportunity for all FENS Forum attendees to build self-awareness, acquire tools to identify blind spots, and learn practical skills to address inequities in the brain sciences.
In public forums, we are often unaware of problematic behaviours or hesitant to confront disruptive conduct such as sexism, racism, bullying, and harassment. The session will provide a safe space for participants to recognise their own biases and gain the confidence and knowledge needed to challenge inappropriate behaviours, when required.
Through the exploration of intervention strategies, participants will develop the skills to instigate positive changes, become better allies and play a proactive role in cultivating inclusive and supportive environments for all conference attendees.
Lunch boxes will be offered to participants at the end of the session.
This event is organised with the support of the International Brain Research Organization.
