Representation of women in UEG

We see the highest engagement of women in UEG in our educational activities, both online and face-to-face. Women are strongly represented among recipients of awards and grants as well. The growth of female representation in faculty and at leadership positions is crucial to ensure the continued engagement of our talented Young GIs of all genders. To anchor gender equality and inclusiveness at all levels, we follow the UEG Equality & Diversity Plan.
