REGISTRATION OPEN: 2022 DEWIS SYMPOSIUM
Gendered and Inclusive Research and Innovation (GIRI) in STEM: ‘Putting the diversity of human-beings centre-stage’
 

Date and time: 14 November, from 13:00 to 17:30
Venue             : Lijm en Cultuur, Delft 

Ignoring gender, age and ethnicity etc. in research and innovation has severe – sometimes even fatal - consequences. A few years ago - for the first time - a Swedish car manufacturer used crash test dummies that actually resemble the bodies of women. With this, they hopefully turn around the fact that women are involved in accidents less often than men, but when they are, they are injured more severely.

To make women, people with an ethnical background or older people etc. visible in our research and innovation, we need to include the diversity of human-beings to its full extend. GIRI puts the diversity of humans centre-stage. In the 2022 DEWIS Symposium, Carmen Leicht-Scholten (RWTH Aachen University), Mara Tanelli (Politecnico Milano), David Abbink (TU Delft) and Claudia Werker (TU Delft) share their ideas on GIRI in STEM with you. They introduce general principles of how to tackle this kind of research and innovation as well as provide examples. In principle, all STEM research and innovation affecting human-beings can be turned into GIRI. Therefore, we will also give you the opportunity to discuss in groups how to turn such research projects in GIRI projects yourself.

DEWIS Award

Rob Mudde (Vice-Rector Magnificus, TU Delft), will present the DEWIS Award to the TU Delft employee who has made an extraordinary contribution to realising an inclusive work environment and to increasing gender equality and gender diversity at TU Delft for women scientists.

If you include gender to represent the diversity of human beings in research, e.g. in testing drugs not only on men between 18 and 45 years old, you get a much more diverse picture on how these drugs work in different kinds of people.

Nominate your colleague for the DEWIS AWARD!
 
DEWIS (Delft Women in Science) empowers brilliant women scientists, creates awareness about gender-related barriers and influences gender policy for a more gender diverse and inclusive TU Delft.

Members of the TU Delft community can nominate individuals for their work towards inclusive and gender diverse working environments. The DEWIS Award selection team identifies contributions that are inspiring and exceptionally motivating. This can be in the areas of teaching, research, programs, services, and community outreach.

Rewarding an extraordinary contribution 
Each year DEWIS is rewarding the individual that has made an extraordinary contribution to realising an inclusive work environment and to increasing gender equality and gender diversity at TU Delft for women scientists.

Nominations are due 2 November, 2022. 
Winners will receive a reward of 1000 euro.
