Universities from eight European countries, the UAB among them, are studying and creating measures towards greater gender equality in research and teaching, within the European project EGERA, which is holding a conference at the UAB from 18 to 20 January.
All UAB centres will be closed during the period 23 December 2015 to 6 January 2016. Some services, however, will still be operating.
