ScienceGuide: Inclusive working environment

To what extent does the environment at research universities and universities of applied sciences contribute to an open, healthy and inclusive working environment? ScienceGuide has put together a dossier with articles, reports, news items and interviews on a range of subjects related to an open, healthy and inclusive working environment. What works well and what doesn't work when it comes to promoting diversity in the workplace? In a series of articles, professors at universities of applied sciences and others explain their approach and research into these issues. The ScienceGuide dossier also contains articles on the role of the confidential adviser and news about the emancipation of women in science and academia. See the dossier on the ScienceGuide website here.
