Open Forum 14 May: Reviewing for gender equality – How gender-sensitive practices in academic publishing can drive systemic change

When: 14 May, 14:00-14:45 (CEST)

Where: Online via Zoom

Speakers: Dr Magdalena Żadkowska (University of Gdańsk) & Miguel Santinhos (Elsevier)

Join us for a 45-minute Open Forum conversation with Magdalena Żadkowska, University of Gdańsk, and Miguel Santinhos, Elsevier, as we explore how integrating gender-sensitive practices into academic publishing can foster systemic change across research and academia.

Based on insights from the MINDtheGEPs project and the latest policy brief Reviewing for Gender Equality: Leveraging Scientific Publishing for Systemic Change, this session will dive into key questions, including:

• What practical steps can researchers and publishers take to ensure gender equality in academic publishing?
• Is gender perspective a tool to change the publish-or-perish game?
• How can early academic training influence more inclusive research practices?
• Why is a human-centric approach essential for the future of scientific publishing?
• And how institutions such as universities and publishing houses can become the game changers?

Expect a conversation-style webinar, where Magdalena and Miguel will share their different experiences and perspectives, followed by a live Q&A with the audience.
