Positive action in neuro-oncology
Dear fellow members of the EANO, dear colleagues, dear friends, the Disparity Committee of the European Association for Neuro-Oncology (EANO) visions to create a diverse and equal community that contributes to the aims of EANO, and a reversal of disparity that could be harmful to professionals and patients. One of the objectives is to promote equality in clinical and scientific activities in neuro-oncology for women and men.
Equality can be promoted through positive action, which is defined as a range of measures allowed under the Equality Act 2010 which can be lawfully taken to encourage and train people from underrepresented groups to help them overcome disadvantages in competing with other applicants.
In this survey, we would like to evaluate indicators that might potentially be useful to measure gender balance in neuro-oncology. In addition, we would like to inquire which positive actions would be suitable to use in the field of neuro-oncology to promote gender equality.
We therefore would like to invite you to take part in this anonymous questionnaire which takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
