Unconscious Bias in Research & Leadership

Internal event (Department/Institute)

As a postdoc or principal investigator in science, your decisions shape careers, collaborations, and the future of research. Yet strong evidence shows that unconscious bias can subtly influence how we evaluate ideas, people, and potential.

At the same time, solving today’s complex scientific challenges depends on diverse, high-performing teams. The ability to recognise and address bias is no longer optional; it’s a core leadership skill. This half-day workshop on Unconscious Gender Bias in Research & Science is designed specifically for postdocs and PIs who want to strengthen their impact as researchers
