About the event
Research institutions in Norway are becoming more and more international. The number of research immigrants is particularly high among PhD candidates and postdocs.
How does this on-going internationalisation of the Norwegian research sector, and the diversity it brings along, shape the everyday life and career opportunities for young scientists? How do diversity and the striving for better gender balance influence power relations, representation and working conditions? Are politicians, human resource managers, research managers and other leaders in academia paying attention to the changing reality of young scientists?
The Young Academy of Norway recently performed a survey among more than 1200 young scientists (below 45 years) in Norway. One of the topics we raised was internationalisation and discrimination.
