Gender Summit 17 OPENING NIGHT - October 2nd 2019 - Amsterdam

The Gender Summit warmly welcomes all participants, speakers and guests of the Summit to the special opening night on October 2nd 2019 at the Griffioen Theatre of the VU University Amsterdam. The Netherlandse based science theatre group 'Het Acteursgenootschap' will play 'MeToo in Academia: The Learning Curve'. Through the play, Het Acteursgenootschap seeks to create awareness of harassment in academia while also exploring individual and institutional ways to address these issues and create a safe working environment. After the play, an international panel will further discuss cultural change in academia. Please join us during this special opening event to get to know other participants, network and get the discussions started. Please note that this session is also open to academics (students, academic and supportstaf) not attending the Gender Summit.
