Meetings
Information about forthcoming CYGNA meetings
Initially, our events took place every two months at a London-based university. Since COVID-19, we run both online and on-campus meetings. Every meeting includes a mix of presentations, focusing on specific research topics, research methods, career perspectives, publishing and research impact.
For more details on our meetings see here. A quick overview of past presentations can be found here. We maintain a readings and inspirations section for female academics, a LinkedIn group, and hashtags #cygna_london and #cygnawomen. For a full description of our network see: Celebrating CYGNA: Supporting women in academia.
If you are interested in being on the mailing list and/or attending our events please contact Anne-Wil Harzing (anne@harzing.com). Feel free to share this information to anyone who might be interested.
