Rigorous research involves embracing inclusive practices at every step, from the original research questions to gathering data, selecting collaborators, interpreting findings and developing solutions.
By addressing barriers to pursuing careers in digitalization research and its implementation, we foster innovation, promote equality, and drive excellence.
In this Digital Futures workshop we will focus on gender equality. Through a keynote and a panel session, we will have the chance to discuss international and national perspectives, and during a brainstorming session, in small groups, participants will be able to propose future activities and events in this area.
Karl H. Johansson Director of Digital Futures said: “Advancing gender equality in research is essential to realizing Digital Futures vision of research excellence and achieving a sustainable future”
