The Gender Equality Conference 2017 (‘GEC 2017’) will be conducted in two days from the 21st to the 22nd of November 2017. The GEC 2017 is organized independently under the supervision of the European Student Think Tank. This event will focus on the gender equalization of the job market within the European Union.
The GEC 2017 aims to invite and include as many and varied people as possible, as it affects everyone. There will be male and female perspectives from many different professions to create a stimulating environment.
GEC 2017 will host lectures, workshops, and a panel discussion. The grand finale will be at Cafe Crea, where you can discuss and share your experiences with the speakers and other attendees with a glass of wine, beer or soda (included in the ticket price).
Last but not least we will provide food and beverages.

Collaborating with European Student Think Tank
The European Student Think Tank (EST, established 2010) is an international NGO run by students for students, which provides a platform for students to form and share their opinions on all things European. Through our activities we aim to bring the European institutions and students closer together, by encouraging our members to organise events and develop partnerships with influential organisations. The EST is dedicated to progressive ideals and the future of Europe, as well as providing students with opportunities to develop professional skills around their own interests and passions.
Since 2016, we have been campaigning for gender equality in Europe under the name 'Empow(h)er'. The GEC 2017 is the flagship event of this campaign of the 2017-2018 academic year. It follows several successful events held last year by our talented members, including a number at prominent European institutions.
