After the break, the #ACTonGender #MatchingEvents will resume with the intervention of Inger Lövkrona and @BrageTomas, from @lunduniversity. They will present "AKKA: a gender-integrated leadership program"

Some of the AKKA project questions were...

How does #gender operate in academy?
In what way is #leadership gender-marked?
Do men and women have the same opportunities and influence?
How do we change discriminating structures?

#ACTonGender
#MatchingEvents

... and some of the conclusions @BrageTomas highlights from AKKA are:

A gender-integrated leadership program gives results - as long as it is running!
Is has to be institutionalised, permanent and part of mainstreaming
AKKA has put down "stepping stones towards change"

After the group discussion, @NWNCaprileElola & @Rachelpalmen thank all participants and call for the next #MatchingEvents session on Friday 16th, entitled "National Policy and Institutional Measures for #GenderBalance in #DecisionMaking and Leadership Positions in R&I"
