Workspaces for Writing Up Academic Research

Within the framework of the “Gender Policy Code of Conduct,” the Gender Equality Commission is making several workspaces available to junior academics at UZH to write up their academic research. The office of the Gender Equality Commission coordinates the allocation of places and organizes its implementation on site.

The workspaces for writing up academic research are provided for the specific purpose of promoting junior academics at UZH. In the mid to long term, UZH aims to achieve a balanced representation of both sexes across all university positions and bodies.

Members of the UZH community at the level of PhD or above and UZH staff working on a project dedicated to gender equality are eligible to apply. Applicants may apply for (part or full-time) use of workspaces for a period of up to 12 months; extensions for a further year are possible. In exceptional cases, short-term use of office space is possible.

Applications must include a clear statement of grounds detailing why the workspace is required and how the work is relevant to developing an (academic) career.

Applications can be submitted at any time. Places are awarded by decision of the Gender Equality Commission. Application documents are to be submitted to the General Manager of the Gender Equality Commission.
