Unconscious Bias in Research & Science: Deep-Dive Workshop for Scientists on Hiring & Recruiting

We know from 30 years of empirical research, that women and minorities in science are judged more critically than white, cis-men. They are often evaluated as less capable when performing similar or even identical work which contributes to an uneven playing field in the recruitment process.

This interactive workshop builds awareness about the systematic unconscious biases that are at play in hiring and recruiting. We unpack what unconscious bias is, why it matters and explore best-practices that can help us to reduce bias.

The workshop will take place online on March 24th via Zoom in English.
