Unconscious Gender Bias, 13/10/2021

In collaboration with Frederick University’s Centre on Gender Issues, Diversity and Equality, an interactive training of academic and administrative staff on “Unconscious Gender Bias” was held on October 13th, 2021. The session raised awareness on what bias is, its effects and why it results in cumulative (dis)advantage in careers. Participants discussed how bias plays out in performance evaluation, in teamwork and workplace cultures, as well as work-care reconciliation. Insights into bias mitigation were provided, as a starting point for increasing competence in dealing with bias.

The trainer was Dr Claartje Vinkenburg, visiting fellow at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (SBE Management & Organization Studies and Amsterdam Business Research Institute), an independent consultant and expert on the impact of implicit bias, normative beliefs, and discursive practices on career systems, patterns, and outcomes to promote diversity and inclusion.

Frederick University & Sustainable Development Goals: Re-imagining the future, 23/11/2020
The SDGs and the role of Universities in their achievement

Guest Speaker: María Cortés Puch, Vice President of Networks of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)

The paramount challenge of our time is balancing very real and urgent human needs, such as the eradication of hunger and poverty, with the equally urgent need to protect the climate and natural ecosystems from further harm, and to do so in a way that is equitable and fair to all people. In 2015, at the United Nations, 193 countries adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity, both for people and the planet, now and into the future.

The transformation that is needed to make this vision a reality is enormous in scale, and complicated. However, in countries around the globe, universities are well-positioned to support this transition. They develop new technologies, business models, and governance frameworks; train future leaders to be globally-conscious and innovative; and have a proven track record working with diverse stakeholders, including governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations.
