Let's talk about Gender and Sex in Research & Innovation

Why do gender and sex matter in research and innovation across disciplines, career stages and institutional practices?

Join us on 1 February 2023 to explore these issues in a Trinity community event organised by the Office of the Associate Vice Provost for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, in collaboration with the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and START European Researcher’s Night.
