The Faculty Board at KI has allocated budgetary resources for a "long-term investment to strengthen qualification opportunities for young women". The female research network at KI is one of several initiatives in the area, and is in line with KI’s Strategy 2030, which states that equal employment conditions and career paths shall be ensured for all employees, regardless of background (p.14 Strategy 2030). The position also reinforces KI’s work with the government assignment on gender mainstreaming, where career paths and terms of employment are priority areas.

The network has administrative support allocated at 10%. The network also has a steering group consisting of Christian Giske, Ewa Ehrenborg, Catarina Almqvist Malmros, Rachel Fisher, Helena Karlström, Camilla Svensson and Alexandra Wennberg. As two of the academic leaders are now finishing their assignments, we are looking for a senior and a junior academic leader.
