The format of our session is to capture the real-life experiences of our panellists and audience, interspersed with clips from the Netflix show. Beginning with brief real-life stories from our panelists, we will then hear a short presentation on the meaning and consequences of the ‘Glass Cliff’ that can affect women in leadership positions. We will conclude with practical solutions for achieving real change. This will feature two active cases drawn from nine Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) across nine Southern and Eastern European countries. The GEPs have been developed within the context of CALIPER, a European-funded project on gender equality in STEM fields, aiming at achieving structural changes in the research and innovation sector.
The whole session will be informal, and fully open to participant discussion (allowing around half of the session for interaction).
