From talent to power – women leadership in Nordic life science
The barriers facing women in Nordic life science are not primarily about confidence, education, or aspiration. Instead, they are rooted in access, visibility, sponsorship, and how decisions are made as careers move closer to senior leadership and board levels.
VILDA and BioStock are pleased to invite you to an afternoon event focused on leadership in life science, the structural challenges women encounter on their path to senior executive and board roles, and what we can do to address these structural barriers in leadership progression.
Date and time: Wednesday 20th of May at 16.30-18:30
Location: Bistro Merge at the Spark, Medicon Village, Lund
