On Monday, 6 February, Comenius University in Bratislava held the opening ceremony for international students.
During spring semester Comenius University will host 136 international students from 20 countries. “At Comenius we are very proud to welcome also students from the ENLIGHT alliance, from the University of the Basque country, Uppsala University and the University of Tartu,” says the Head of Erasmus+ office in Bratislava.
Multidisciplinary team from the University of the Basque Country suggests that delving deeper into the barely studied phenomenon of camouflaging can improve autism research.
A study by the UPV/EHU’s Lindy Lab-Language in Neurodiversity research group offers a more integrative view of camouflaging across the whole autism spectrum, and draws attention to the importance of understanding this phenomenon better and improving current measurement methods in order to propose priorities for future research.
Women in Sciences – Online Event
In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, RESET – Redesigning Equality and Scientific Excellence Together invites you to an event focused on women’s scientific careers in the early career stages. We will be talking to women in science about strategies for building a career in science. We will focus specifically on the intersection of gender and upward educational mobility, with an emphasis on female first-generation academics in the opening keynote and panel discussion. In the second, interactive part of the event, we will host break-out sessions. The goal of the break-out sessions is to give participants the opportunity to reflect together on issues related to academic career development under the moderation of experienced scientists, advisors, or science managers.
“Women in Science: intersectional and international perspectives“ is open to a large audience. It is aimed especially at female early-career scientists and all those who are interested in providing impulses for the promotion of equal opportunities in science.
