Gender and Excellence: Challenges in Research Funding II

The second international conference of the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF on Gender and Excellence will focus on a potential gender bias in the perception and evaluation of excellence as well as on the inclusion of the gender dimension in specific research areas. The first panel, on gender bias, will examine how the perception and evaluation of excellence are linked to gender. In this context, the results of new studies will be presented and discussed. The second panel, on gender perspectives, will investigate to what extent gender analysis needs to be integrated into research. The conference language is English.

Award of the Marie Heim-Vögtlin (MHV) Prize

The conference will be followed by the award ceremony for the Marie Heim-Vögtlin Prize 2016. The prize is awarded by the SNSF in recognition of outstanding research work conducted by an MHV grant holder. Further information
