Panel discussion between scientists from UiT and the University of Bergen.
Scientists from UiT and University of Bergen gathered to discuss gender imbalance and discrimination in academia, as well as initiatives which aim to ensure diversity and inclusion in research, academia and work life.
Visual Intelligence and the Lie-Størmer Center thank everyone who participated in the local celebration of Women in Mathematics Day at Verdensteatret in Tromsø!
The event consisted of a screening of the award-winning documentary "Picture a Scientist". The film addresses and problematizes gender inequity in research and academia through personal stories from three female scientists.
After the film, scientists from UiT and the University of Bergen gathered to discuss gender imbalance and discrimination in academia, as well as initiatives which aim to ensure diversity and inclusion in research, academia and work life.
Thanks to our wonderful organizers, panelists and audience for contributing to an informative and stimulating event!
The local celebration was co-organized by SFI Visual Intelligence and the Lie-Størmer Center. The event would not have been possible without generous funding from the Lie-Størmer Center.
Women in Mathematics Day is celebrated worldwide on May 12th. The local celebration in Tromsø took place on May 6th.
