Network event Women+
Meet other women+ and non-binary colleagues from the different NWO-Institutes, NWO-I office and NWO at the Network Event of the Women+ ERG. The event will focus on networking and getting to know each other.
Get inspired on why women in an academic setting need to network by Lidwien Poorthuis, director of the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH).
We want to build a strong network for Women+ within NWO in order to support each other, share experiences, create awareness around gender inequality and to give input for policy around Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

The first half hour we will give a short introduction of the Women+ ERG and there will be a pitch on the importance of women networking. Next on the program are two nice ways to meet each other, the Woman+ Bingo and Speed dating. The Women+ Bingo is a funny way to find expected and unexpected matches in the room with other women.
In the speed date event in three or four rounds you can meet other women+ and exchange experiences and advice on gender.
If you want to prepare yourself for this discussions, these are the four speed dating prompts / questions:
- In the home you grew up in, can you say something about the role that gender played?
- How do you think your work environment (male dominated or not) is affecting your work and your behaviour at work? + animation: Do you think that your presence influenced the work and behaviour of your male colleagues?
- In which situations have you been the gender minority and what were your experiences? (Think of meetings, conferences, etc.)
- What are tips or advice that you can give coming from your (gendered) experiences at work?
Finally of course there will be drinks and bites, so we will have the opportunity to get to know to get to know each other even further.
