Empowerment of Under-represented Researchers
EUR/WLAR strives to counter under-representation in science, academics, and research by fostering and empowering mentorship, role modeling, and career development by highlighting solutions at the interface of policy, industry, and academia. Through a united effort and enhanced awareness and inclusion, we can take our next step towards realizing and showcasing our greatest potential.
Invited monthly lecture series highlighting and honoring women and under-represented leaders in science, industry, academics, policy, and advocacy. Originally from a combined effort of Interventional Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, Radiology, Imaging Sciences, Data Science, and Image-Guided Oncology, the series aimed to honor and promote women and confront disparities within the fields. This honorary lecture series uses experiential tales to challenge the implicit bias on role modeling and mentoring of underrepresented groups. Monthly topics are open-ended and geared towards highlighting successful female or other under-represented leaders as role models for trainees. Speakers focus on mentoring, career building, implicit bias, inclusive team science, and empowerment to counter under-representation in science and medical research.
