Two days of training for different profiles and professional levels who, having responded to an expression of interest, have chosen to become trainers to facilitate the cultural change towards greater gender equality in our research institution. In particular, the objectives of the training will be the promotion of equality in scientific careers, the monitoring of gender balance in decision-making processes and in governance bodies, the integration of the gender dimension in the contents of research and innovation, as well as the implementation of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP). The team is formed as follows:
