Gendering the Academia and Research. Workshops for Early Career Reserachers: Belgian case

The objective of organising reflexive working groups with prospective candidates is to give them some information about the current situation of recruitment in academia to help them to become aware of how recruitment selection processes work. We use two different settings to achieve this goal. We first organised two reflexive workshops, one in the STEM department (ELI) and one in the SSH department (IACCHOS). These workshops gathered a small amount of participants (3/4) that 1/ exchanged their experiences of recruitment as postdoc researcher or PhD student, and 2/ were given information coming from previous Garcia research conducted in UCLouvain about selection procedures. A second setting was developed only in IACCHOS. We organised a presentation of some results of the Garcia project at destination of all young researchers of IACCHOS that attended a day of formation for young researcher organised by IACCHOS. This presentation reached between 30 and 40 young IACCHOS researchers.
