International Day of Women and Girls in Science: How does FSV UK support its female scientists in their career development?
On February 11, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the aim of which is to remind us of their essential role in the scientific environment and to support their involvement in research. On this occasion, we introduce three participants of the faculty mentoring programme, which is intended to help female researchers with career development and with the reconciliation of both personal and professional life.
The mentoring programme, entitled ‘Living Life to the Full (Not Just Academic)’, was created at the initiative of the faculty’s Working Group for Equal Opportunities. The program features Barbora Spalová and Zuzana Kotherová from the Institute of Sociological Studies and Eliška Ullrichová from the Institute of International Studies. Each of them has taken a different life path, but they share one common goal – the effort to combine an academic career with motherhood and marriage.
