On April 23rd, the Aurora consortium had a very fruitful and inspiring session at the 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩! Partners explored crucial topics around 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, many of which are often overlooked but essential, from gender perspectives to broader ethical dimensions like accessibility and inclusivity in research.

💡 One of the highlights was the use of the Padlet tool for idea sharing, which created a space for open, real-time input. The breakout discussions in separate Teams Rooms led to some incredibly insightful exchanges, showing just how powerful collective reflection can be.

From raising awareness about gender equality to embracing diverse voices and experiences, today’s session reinforced that true innovation comes from diversity, awareness, and intentional action.

Huge thanks to the Laurea University of Applied Sciences team for guiding us through this important work!
