University of Helsinki
EUGenDem and its project team move to the University of Helsinki as of January 2023.
We will be continuing our academic work at the University of Helsinki in the final year of the project at the Centre for European Studies. We are looking forward to great new opportunities for research and networking.
In 2023, we will be organizing two final events.
First, we organise the event ‘Gender equality in the political groups: Pushing the agenda forward‘ in the European Parliament in Brussels 7 February 2023 in co-operation with MEP Maria Noichl (S&D). The event is targeted for policy-makers and political stakeholders. In addition to EUGenDem project finding presentations, it includes a roundtable with participation from Maria Noichl, MEP, S&D; Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, MEP, Greens/EFA; Sirpa Pietikäinen, MEP, EPP; Samira Rafaela, MEP, Renew; and Dr Costanza Hermanin, European University Institute (EUI), Italy.
Second, we organise a final EUGenDem conference ‘European Politics, Equality, and Democracy‘ on 25-26 May 2023 in Helsinki.
The conference will feature two keynote sessions: Challenges to European democracy and integration with Natasha Wunsch (Sciences Po, CEE & ETH Zurich) and Elżbieta Korolczuk (Södertörn University and University of Warsaw) and European Parliament in turbulent times with Nathalie Brack (UL Brussels) and Johanna Kantola (University of Helsinki).
