1. Transforming institution by gendering contents and gaining equality in research FP7 project TRIGGER

UCT Prague, Personnel Department, HR development

2. Why „gender“ at UCT Prague
Chemistry belongs to STEM disciplines
Historical aspects – women were not involved in technical fields
women were not allowed to study technical universities
1918 – constitution of the Czechoslovakia – first female students
1938 – 10% women at technical universities
– universities closed by the Nazis
1948 – communist regime promoted equality between women and men – increase in the number of women on 30%
1954 – Julie Hamackova the 1st woman appointed professor
1955 – Julie Hamackova – first female dean at UCT Prague
Currently – 60 % of female students at UCT Prague
Only 10% female professors - (all are 60+ years old)
Where our young talents disappears ?
