Association of Hungarian Women in Science The Association of Hungarian Women in Science was established in September 2008. Its mission is the improvement of the situation of women researchers and contribution to gender equality in science. The main tasks of the Association are:
Equal Treatment Authority  The Equal Treatment Authority was established by the Equal Treatment Act from 2003 on equal treatment and the promotion of equal opportunities and started its work in 2005. It is an independent organisation, which was set up by the Hungarian Government to receive and deal with individual and public complaints about unequal treatment and to implement the principles of equality and non discrimination. Though independent, the Authority works under the direction of the Minister for Social Affairs and Labour. http://www.egyenlobanasmod.hu/ Hungarian Science and Technology Foundation  The Hungarian Science and Technology Foundation (TETALAP) is a non-profit public foundation established by the Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1994. Its mission is to develop the international relations of the Hungarian R&D community, to participate in Hungary’s EU integration efforts by promoting activities in the field of science and technology and to facilitate the access of interested Hungarian parties to EU R&D funding. TETALAP has taken part in 24 FP6 projects, in five of which as coordinator (Enwise Ethics Workshop, TrainNet Future, Hungary for FP6, WS DEBATE, UNICAFE). Most of the projects have been support actions running in the life sciences and social sciences area. TETALAP is strongly involved in women and science issues and several of its coordinated projects are targeted at this field. http://www.tetalap.hu/ Individual Supporting Member Galina Ivanova |
