Promoter Information:
Abstract:
European Women Rectors Association (EWORA) is a full-fledged International Non-Profit association established in Brussels under Belgian Law in December 2015 to promote the role of women in leadership positions in the academic sector and to advocate gender equality in higher education and research at European and international scales. EWORA is the continuation of European Women Rectors Platform (EWRP), which has been active since 2008 in organizing biennial European Women Rectors Conferences. EWORA promotes gender equality in higher education and research with special reference to leadership. EWORA is established to develop strategies for increasing women at decision making levels in higher education and research. EWORA is committed to provide opportunity for women rectors to share their experiences to improve the situation of women academics and to remove the barriers for horizontal and vertical segregation in academia. EWORA aims to become more effective and efficient for achieving substantial change across the world, developing strategies and policies that will: - encourage women academics to target leadership positions; - create opportunities for increasing women’s representation in higher education and research; - be proposed to decision makers at institutional, national and European levels; - establish a new Europe-wide network to transfer and spread knowledge and experience among women leaders in academia; - ensure a balanced participation of women and men in academic leadership; - observe, evaluate and analyse the gender differences in academia in different cultures at European levels; - conduct research on gender equality in academia at European and international levels
