Let’s explore (our) gender!

First Diversity Day at AMOLF
Thursday, May 25, 2023

Welcome

We will host our first Diversity Day, where we come together to explore diversity related topics.
For this first time, we have chosen to revisit the topic “gender” beyond the binary that many of us have been taught. The aim of this event is to enhance our knowledge and awareness of gender diversity to ultimately foster a more inclusive work environment.
In addition, we want to welcome and celebrate the diversity we already have at AMOLF
