UZH is proud to have hosted the Second LERU Gender Conference on 14 - 15 June 2018.

The disproportional loss of female talent in academia is evident and systematic almost without exception across disciplines, faculties, universities, and countries. This was an exciting opportunity to think and talk to each other about why this happens, and ways to stop it.
