About LifeSciCoP
The partners of the Life Science Community of Practice (LifeSciCoP) are European research centres and university departments with the focus on life sciences. The individual members are professionals that are in a strategic position to change the culture of their institution (e.g. equality officer, chair or member of gender equality committee, training manager, HR staff, and management staff).
Mission
The mission of the LifeSciCoP is to tackle barriers to gender equality that are common at the member institutions; learn from different European and Institutional context; implement measures at member institutions; and disseminate learning outcomes, results, and best practices to the wider research community.
Objectives
The LifeSciCoP will specifically promote and apply effective methods to
• increase awareness for unconscious bias,
• overcome resistance to Gender Equality,
• include gender aspects in evaluation processes.
