Description
Chalmers University of Technology launched GENIE (Gender Initiative for Excellence) in 2019, a ten-year strategic initiative with a budget of SEK 300 million. Genie’s goals were and are to improve gender equality across all academic levels and foster a work environment conducive to scientific excellence. One of Genie’s foundations was that by addressing gender imbalances, removing barriers, and cultivating an inclusive academic culture, the research and education at Chalmers will become stronger and better. 6 years in, the initiative is on a new phase, working to integrate into the normal processes and routines. This talk will reflect on what has been created, what not and what are the difference from 2019.
