‘It’s not about ideology. It’s about better science’ – an interview with Prof. Chełmońska-Soyta

We invite you to read an interview with Prof. Anna Chełmońska-Soyta, Ambassador for Equality, head of the Reproductive Immunology Laboratory at the Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy, Polish Academy of Sciences.

In the interview, Prof. Chełmońska-Soyta talks about, among other things:

  • gender equality as a prerequisite for good and reliable science,
  • the importance of diversity in research teams and innovation,
  • the barriers that women still face in science,
  • responsible leadership and conscious choices in scientific careers.

This is an important voice showing that equality is not a formal requirement, but a real value that enhances the quality of research.

The interview is available on the website of the National Contact Point at the National Centre for Research and Development:
