In 2021, the Vietnamese Government issued the National Strategy on Gender Equality for the period 2021-2030 with the aim of continuing to narrow the gender gap in many areas, including education and training. Recognizing the importance of promoting an enabling environment for women and men to participate in and enjoy all aspects of academic careers, the Australian Volunteer Program has granted the “Impact Effectiveness Grant 2023 - 2024” to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to support female lecturers and researchers in member units, affiliated units, offices and functional departments with the aim of:
- Increase the number of women holding key leadership and management positions;
- Increase scientific research products of female lecturers and researchers
- Reduce the time burden of women's unpaid care work
The University of Social Sciences and Humanities will organize successive exchanges and experience sharing sessions, including: Exchange and sharing of experiences in improving management and leadership capacity in scientific research (expected in mid-November 2023); Exchange and sharing of experiences in promoting scientific research activities (expected in mid-February 2024).
Female lecturers and researchers in member units, affiliated units, offices and functional departments can register to participate in one or both of the above exchanges and experience sharing sessions by the deadline.
before 5:00 p.m. Monday, October 23, 2023here
About the Exchange and sharing of experiences in improving management and leadership capacity in scientific research15 female lecturers and researchers will be selected to participate in the two-day experience exchange on improving management and leadership capacity in scientific research. Participants are female lecturers and researchers who are currently holding or aspiring to apply for, or are in the source for leadership, management positions or in charge of professional and technical activities at member units, affiliated units, offices, and functional departments of the School.
Participants will apply the knowledge, skills and motivation imparted from the experience exchange activities to improve their performance in the management, leadership or supervisory positions they are holding, or to apply for these positions in the School when the opportunity arises. After the general experience exchange, the professional support advisors will arrange a personal exchange session with each member. The purpose of this personal support exchange session is to help each member hone related skills, including orientation on potential management and leadership positions that the member is interested in applying for at the School and the process of building and preparing the necessary application procedures.
The project will provide a support fund for members with young children (1 million VND/member/month, for at least 2 months) to help promote female lecturers and researchers to proactively and actively participate in and complete the exchange and experience sharing activities.
