On THE Campus: Women in academia are promoted at far lower rates than their male peers and are under-represented in senior positions. To fix this, universities will need to embrace systemic change, says Rachael Jefferson @charlessturtuni.bsky.social #AcademicSky #EduSky

Interesting attending this meeting today, including talks from @sciencecampaign.bsky.social Equate Scotland, @scottishaialliance.bsky.social, social mobility, widening access to #STEM, role of libraries, Scottish space sector, neurodiversity @richardlochhead.bsky.social highlighting focus areas

Opinion: Five years in, the Macron-inspired European Universities project can be considered a success. But its long-term sustainability needs a clearer political strategy, says Luc Sels #AcademicSky #EduSky

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/
