For this reason, EELISA aims to promote an accessible and diverse university, where each and every person, regardless of their culture, ethnicity, gender or beliefs, finds their place to study, grow and contribute to the construction of this society.
Following this aim, EELISA offers two not-to-be-missed events: the Workshop on Gender Dimension in Research (5th of October, @10:00 to12:30pm – CET) and the EELISA Inclusiveness Forum (6th of October, @10:00 to12:30pm – CET)
