• Equal opportunity awareness sessions at our main events with external experts
• Support for female and other underrepresented groups of researchers (e.g., networking, mentoring)
• Support for longer scientific visits of female researchers
• Childcare support for researchers with small children at our scientific events
• Joint events with other initiatives
