The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Janet Beer, will discuss the barriers that prevent women from achieving their full potential as part an International Festival of Business (IFB) event.
Entitled ‘The business of…women’, the event is one of a number of International Festival of Business Blue Skies sessions. Focusing on the barriers commonly faced by women, it will also look at possible solutions. The Vice-Chancellor will appear alongside Chair of Social Enterprise UK, Claire Dove.
Curated by Artistic Director Southbank Centre, Jude Kelly, this programme of ‘Blue Skies’ daytime sessions aims to challenge what is known about business, society, culture and the environment and to share visions of a future that will have a major impact on the way the world lives and works.
