ECEPIE team at the Global Conference of Engineering Education EDUCON 2014 in Istanbul, 3-5 April 2014

André Béraud from ECEPIE team, presented the GenderTIME project at EDUCON 2014, Global Conference on Engineering Education, organized by the IEEE in Istanbul, 3-5 April 2014.
 
The paper “Gender in Engineering Education - Two European projects: from understanding to acting” discusses the results of HELENA and GenderTIME projects. In the presentation, André Béraud succeeded to explain the coherent link between "attracting more women to the engineering studies by the interdisciplinary curricula" and "improvement of the gender equality in the careers of the academic staff".
 
The 30 minutes presentation was an opportunity for an intense exchange of ideas and  perspectives between researchers. EDUCON  Conference  program is available here.
 
The EDUCON 2014 brought together  around 300 persons (54 different nationalities).
