A new consultant at the University of Copenhagen is to boost equality among genders and among Danish/international researchers.
The boards in Denmark’s research foundations are predominantly men, and male researchers are more likely to get funding than their female colleagues. With the Promote Me campaign, associate professor Vanessa Jane Hall wants to correct this gender imbalance.
The majority of students at the Department of Psychology are women under 25 from affluent families. The department’s management calls for more diversity on the programme and has set off a debate on future admission procedures.
