NWO Pride Meeting - 28 June 2022
On Tuesday 28 June 2022, the next NWO Pride meeting will take place, at NWO Institute ARCNL at the Amsterdam Science Park. This is a NWO LGBTI+ meeting, but everyone is cordially invited to join including straight/cis colleagues and also if you work in academia outside NWO. LGBTI+ of course stands for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgenders and Intersex people. NWO aims for excellent science, that flourishes and has maximum impact on our society. Stimulating an inclusive scientific culture that takes diversity in the broadest sense into account, is part of this. Diversity leads to inspiration, creativity and innovation.
