Gender Equality in Academia: Innovative Aspects

The 2024 International Staff Week, hosted by the Gender Equality Office (GEO), is set to unfold from May 13th to May 17th at Koç University’s Istanbul Campus. This year’s theme, “Innovative Aspects,” brings together eight distinguished speakers from Koç University to explore avant-garde, creative, and cutting-edge approaches addressing academic inequalities.
