Transformative practices and resistances”, “Mentoring women in higher education in times of global conflict”, “Mentoring female academics in times of uncertainties: the case of the Covid pandemic” and “How do female students in Green Tec Studies in Germany navigate and enact uncertainty?” were made possible thanks to the funding of the EUPeace project within its second call for proposals.
