Pride at MDC - from awareness to action
Welcome back to the second edition of the LGBTQ+ symposium at the MDC!
We are overjoyed to extend this invitation to you once again, and we look forward to welcoming you back with open arms. As before, our primary objective is to foster a community of inclusivity and diversity in science.
Last year we initiated the conversation with great speakers and now is time for action! Join us as we continue to build upon our network of diverse allies, and immerse ourselves in talks that explore the intricate interplay between sexuality and gender in the scientific community.
We welcome all individuals who support LGBTQ rights and the promotion of a more inclusive and diverse scientific community, whether you are returning or joining us for the first time. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting event and how to participate.
