News Overview

We are happy to announce an upcoming Diversity & Awareness event with the title LGBTQ+ in Physics, presented by Wren Vetens (they/them & she/her) from the CMS collaboration. This event will take place on Thursday, October 26 at 15:00 in the Goldenbox of the PI, INF 226.

The presentation is focused on everyday challenges people of the LGBTQ+ community experience and how this influences their work life. Physics attracts a very diverse group of people and all these people have different cultural backgrounds and identities. To be able to work in such an environment, people need to feel safe and respected. At the end of the seminar we will have the possibility to reflect together on the meaning of a welcoming working place and about how awareness could be improved. Snacks and drinks will be served at the end of the event to have the possibility to continue discussing in open way.
