Upcoming Events
Unfortunately this event has been cancelled
Due to unforseen personal circunstances our key speaker cannot deliver his talk at this moment. We are in contact with the speaker and we hope to receive him later in spring 2024.
Neurodiversity and inclusion have become both buzzwords and focal points for organizations. But how do you create an inclusive educational climate when there is a diversity of neurological forms? Using lessons and practices from his research - Neurodiversity inclusion - Justin Carrero will address these key questions in an interactive conversation. Practical tips to enhance the strengths of a diverse cohort and improve student feedback will also be covered.
This event will be a deep dive into understanding neurodiversity and inclusion.

Past Events
Many girls just don’t like technology, or do they? At TU Delft, 31% of the students and 30% of the staff are women. Increasing these numbers would result in more people who can fill STEM vacancies. Furthermore, research shows that increased diversity results in more productive and innovative products. But why do we have this lack of women in many (but not all) STEM fields? Several societal factors affect the image of STEM professions, self-efficacy and interest development. During this lunch lecture, Shirley de Wit will take you along by explaining the causes, consequences and discussing possible solutions to close the gender gap in STEM.
