DESCRIPTION:In today's society\, many organisations have gender equality on
  their agenda. So also Uppsala University\, the first university in Sweden
 \, where we aim for diversity in all activities to achieve higher quality 
 in our academic tasks and equity for the individual. To reach this\, we sp
 ecifically encourage applicants of any gender and with different birth bac
 kground\, functionality\, and life experience in our recruitments. However
 \, good recruitment statistics is not a result per se\; in my opinion\, to
  reach equal opportunities we need a change of mindset. For example\, ther
 e ought to be transparency in the decisions leading to promotion of our st
 aff members. In this talk\, I will present some of my experiences and less
 ons learned during the years internationally and at our Faculty. I will gi
 ve my views on how our academic leadership foster good work environments\,
  where job satisfaction - and thereby higher scientific quality - is reach
 ed thanks to diversity in gender and other grounds of discrimination. In f
 act\, we as leaders are role models who either become (or do not become) s
 uccessful in recruiting\, promoting\, and thereby retaining women as well 
 as men. Welcome to discuss this matter and share your experiences!\n\nSpea
