NOTE
Following the Athena Swan gender review it became clear that most senior research roles are held by males. To address this imbalance the following action was approved by the UCC Athena SWAN Main Steering Group.
Action 5.3.5: “Run UCC’s Epigeum Professional Skills for Research Leaders course specifically for female Postdoctoral and Senior Postdoctoral Researchers.
With an emphasis on raising the proportion of senior female researchers in UCC it is hoped that PSRL for females only will provide some of the support and tools necessary to help female researchers to achieve their research goals as well as their own professional career objectives.
