Each three years NWO and the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) organize Pump Your Career, a special talent and career event for female scientists. This year Pump Your Career takes place on Wednesday 12 December at the Beatrix Theatre in Utrecht.

Diversity and inclusiveness are indispensable for science. If science wants to be relevant for society then it needs to reflect the various identities and perceptions that exist within society. To boost the careers of female scientists, facilitate their promotion to higher positions, and to generate attention for the various dimensions of diversity and inclusiveness, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) organize Pump Your Career. Everybody working in (applied) science (PhDs, postdocs, assistant, associate and full professors), policy officers and policy makers with respect to gender diversity are very welcome.
