March 8th: UJK’s Debate on Women in Business and Science

International Women’s Day  at Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego in Kielcach  has come to a close! On March 8th, there was a debate between representatives of the women’s community in business during the event “The Women’s Side of Business” which was attended by women – students, lecturers, but also men who support women’s initiatives.

This initiative, held in UJK’s Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, preceded the X-jubilee edition of BUSINESS CAFES – regular, intimate meetings between business representatives and students. This time, the invited experts revealed their ways of overcoming fear of changes associated with running your own business.

As Dr. Ana Kamiska, ATHENA’s UJK team coordinator, presented ideas for achieving gender equality to open up the research and potential of RPOs and RFOs in Europe, the motivational business women who made up the panel of speakers became interested in supporting ATHENA’s efforts.
