The GENOVATE Community is a platform which enables GENOVATE partners to share institutional information and case studies, and facilitates the coordination of a buddy system for bench learning.
The GENOVATE Community consist of seven GENOVATE partner institutions; the GENOVATE International Advisory Board; key strategic collaborators and stakeholders and the general public. It is a mechanism designed to facilitate meaningful knowledge exchange across the community at local, national and international levels within each of the partner institutions’ countries, across Europe and globally.
Seven out of 17 new professors who were installed last week at LTU are women. Maria Udén was installed as a professor of Gender and Technology.
Twenty years ago LTU had no women professors. In Sweden as a whole, the corresponding figure at the time, 1994, was seven percent. Today the proportion of women in Sweden who are full professors is 24 percent and at LTU 17 percent.
The strategic initiatives that have taken place at LTU in the recent years have been successful, initiatives such as time and conditions given for successful women to conduct research and engage in research development programs. At LTU we have also ongoing projects to sensitize gender and equality in recruitment processes of LTU.
- Women who became professors this year had happened anyway, but without our strategic initiatives it had certainly taken much longer time, says Ylva Fältholm.
