RESET Workshop: "Act Together"
The role of H2020 projects and EU initiatives - their impact on Gender Equality in STEM
EU projects are working on the promotion of gender equality in research and academic communities. Having built a strong network, and raising mutual help, these projects form a strong and sharing community of changing the stereotypes and giving equal opportunities. This workshop is presenting the impact of each project on the targets and the environments in that they are addressed to. An interactive discussion about the expectations and the final outcome of their action.

Workshop: "The Matrix" - A Visual Becoming of GEC'22
This workshop aims to build a visual matrix representing core aspects of GEC’22. As a joint visualization by the participants, a matrix of combinatory understandings of different technological terms (e.g. AI, ML, HHI, HCI) and different key topics (e.g. gender, ethics, community, equality) will be materialized as a 2x2m paper matrix capturing GEC’22 in spirit and momentum!

Creative Mentoring Workshop: "Becoming Better Together"
Learning through Mentoring
An impactful professional life is not about competition but collaboration and mobilising the intelligence of the collective. This is true for all of us regardless of career stage – we all can contribute to, and learn something from, each other. Mentoring is one label to describe such relationships. In this talk we start from the position that there is no one model of mentoring and explore different types of mentoring relationships, how they might fit different needs and different career stages, and how they might play out practically. Mentoring is about becoming better together, learning from one another, and supporting one another.
Purpose
To begin the process of fostering a culture of mutual support where Greek academic women, students and young researchers identify and promote each other’s talents and achievements, recognize their strengths and investigate the potential of contributing as mentors to younger peers, as well as being able to draw on peers/seniors for mentoring support.

Title: Learning through Mentoring
Abstract: An impactful professional life is not about competition but collaboration and mobilising the intelligence of the collective. This is true for all of us regardless of career stage – we all can contribute to, and learn something from, each other. Mentoring is one label to describe such relationships. In this talk we start from the position that there is no one model of mentoring and explore different types of mentoring relationships, how they might fit different needs and different career stages, and how they might play out practically. Mentoring is about becoming better together, learning from one another, and supporting one another.
Part 2: INTERACTIVE SESSION, coordinated by Panagiota Fatourou and Geraldine Fitzpatrick
- Gain more clarity about mentorship needs in the field, as well as about opportunities that can be explored (and resources that can be drawn on) to meet those needs.
- Collect information about what could be a realistic mentorship model, to which attendees would be willing to contribute (or in which attendees would be willing to participate).
