The webinar will provide the wider research community with an interdisciplinary perspective on the connections between cultural diplomacy and science diplomacy. It is particularly relevant for internationally mobile researchers, offering insights into how cultural engagement can serve as a bridge for mutual understanding, trust-building, and collaboration across different political, social, and cultural contexts.

During the one-day hybrid event, we will be introduced to the narrative CV, its impact on research culture and years of experience using it on a national scale in two keynote presentations. Following these introductory talks, a high-level panel discussion will explore, how the use of the narrative CV might fit the Slovenian context as a valuable tool. In addition, the Peer Exchange Platform for Narrative-style CVs (PEP-CV) will be presented as a digital platform supporting the pratical use of narrative CVs as an impactful assessment tool.

The MCAA Czechia Chapter is delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar celebrating inspiring women researchers and their scientific journeys in Europe.
