In 2021, the Vietnamese Government issued the National Strategy on Gender Equality for the period 2021-2030, aiming to further narrow the gender gap in many areas, including education and training. Recognizing the importance of promoting a favorable environment where both women and men can participate in and benefit from all aspects of academic careers, the Australian Volunteer Program has awarded 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 following objectives:
- Increase the number of women holding key leadership and management positions;
- Increase the scientific research output of female lecturers and researchers.
- Reduce the time burden women have to spend on unpaid caregiving.
The University of Social Sciences and Humanities will organize a series of exchange and experience-sharing sessions, including: Exchange and sharing of experiences to enhance management and leadership capacity in scientific research (scheduled for mid-November 2023); Exchange and sharing of experiences to promote scientific research activities (scheduled for mid-February 2024).
Female lecturers and researchers in member units, affiliated units, offices, and functional departments may register to participate in one or both of the above-mentioned exchange and experience-sharing sessions by the deadline.
Before 5 PM on Monday, October 23, 2023here
