Women leaders in academia and business (4.4)

Panel Report

Although the number of women leaders in academia and beyond has been steadily increasing over the last decades, women continue to be under-represented in leadership positions.  The panel provides an excellent opportunity to learn about:

  • Leadership experiences from women top leaders
  • What institutions can do to increase the number of women in senior leadership roles
  • How the meaning/understanding of leadership has to change that leading expert organizations become more attractive for women
  • Best practices across the different sectors: what works
