Researchers in academia/industry are more likely to delay family planning. Thus, professional development is often in conflict with the strong desire for personal plans, including family planning and parenthood.
There has been a positive movement towards equity of opportunity around family planning.
However, recent studies show that attention is still needed to tackle existing problems, such as childcare costs and struggle of keeping a career in research.
The panel will build upon the themes of Issues and Action to find equity, mapping different geographical/cultural challenges for mobile researchers.
Speakers:
Sibylle Hodel Guthrie, Deputy Head of EU GrantsAccess and EURAXESS Zurich
Tanja Vuckovic Juros, Editor-in-Chief of the Croatian Sociological Review
Virginia Helena Albarracin, Scientific Director of Centro Integral de Microscopía Electrónica (CIME-CONICET-UNT), Chair of MCAA-Argentina
Jenny Lind Elmaco, Regional Coordinator of EURAXESS Worldwide and NCP for the MSCA, Chair of MCAA-SouthEast Asia
