Seminar Gender-Balanced Company Boards in the EU

The role of private actors vis-à-vis public authorities in ensuring gender equality in corporate management

Date: 9 December 2015

Location: Raadzaal, Achter Sint Pieter 200, Utrecht

This conference will focus on the problem of underrepresentation of women on company boards in Europe and in corporate management more generally, bringing together views from industry, policy-makers and academia. The pros and cons of the different national regulatory and enforcement approaches will be discussed and the European Commission’s legislative proposal, as well as best practices to effectively deal with the lack of progress. The role and responsibility of both governments and industry, in their interaction, will be a central issue. 

This conference is hosted and organised by Utrecht University/RENFORCE (Linda Senden) and the Centre for Inclusive Leadership (Mirella Visser).
