The Road Less Travelled: women’s journeys into academic leadership
Tuesday 11 February 2025 at 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
ASCEND, a new network for women and gender non-conforming researchers across the University of Oxford’s Medical Sciences Division and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, is launching!
The network will aim to support women and gender non-conforming researchers and staff in mid and senior level positions to develop as research leaders and gain support in furthering their careers.

The network’s inaugural event, The Road Less Travelled: women’s journeys into academic leadership, will take place on Tuesday 11th February 12:00-13:00, with lunch to be provided from 13:00-13:30. Join us at the Kennedy Lecture Theatre as Professors Kokila Lakhoo, Eva Morris and Laura Coates discuss their careers as women academics, with a Q&A to follow. Please note, if you are registering to attend the lunch, you must register by Monday 3rd February.
This event is open to researchers and staff across the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals who have an interest in developing into senior/leadership roles in research and academia.
