Funding for visiting professors of the underrepresented gender

The University sets aside funding to stimulate work in support of gender equality and equal opportunities, which will be used, among other things, to promote a more even gender distribution among the university's professors. The faculties and USV are hereby invited to apply for funds to finance fixed-term appointments of visiting professors of the underrepresented gender. 
 
A visiting professor of the underrepresented gender shall be made possible to be a role model for employees and students by participating in the research environment, teach at different levels and contributing to the faculty's work with gender equality and equal opportunities. 

The deadline for applications is 30th of April 2026.
