Dear all,

Thank you for your willingness to participate in the training on prevention of gender-based violence in academic and research institutions in the Czech Republic.

There are 4 questions in this questionnaire. You can check the correct answers after submitting this form. For easier control, we recommend you to make a note of your answers.

The training materials were developed within the project “Prevention of gender-based violence in the work environment of Czech public research institutions and universities”, which was financed by Norway through the Norway Grants.

Thank you for participating in our collective effort to create fair conditions and a safe work environment for all.

1) Women can face obstacles in career growth:

(choose multiple correct answers)

A) from both male and female superiors.

B) from men, for not reflecting their stereotypical thinking.

C) from the institution due to the setting of career development rules that favour men.

Required

Space for your comments on question 1.

2) Veronika has been considered a hard worker and an exceptionally capable woman. Throughout her professional career she rose to the position of head of the technical and economic department. However, she had to face many challenges during her career, and was often the only woman in leading positions.

When Veronika became the manager, over time she began to show a certain hostility towards her other female colleagues. She refused to support them and often criticised them excessively. She was convinced that they should go through the same difficulties as she did. Moreover, she was afraid that she wouldn't have enough authority if she was not tough, and thus confirmed the stereotype that women are not good leaders.

This story illustrates:

(choose multiple correct answers)

A) the result of unequal career opportunities for men and women.

B) possible reasons why some women may be hostile to other women in the workplace.

C) Veronica's behaviour, which is based on the principles of equal opportunities for all.

Required

Space for your comments on question 2.

3) The associate professor obtained a prestigious grant and is now the main leader of the research team. She became pregnant during the project. However, the grant conditions do not allow her to interrupt her work activities even for a few months. In case of interruption, the whole project will be cancelled according to the grant rules.

Grant conditions are set in this case:

(choose multiple correct answers)

A) fairly, because they are created to take into consideration people with caring responsibilities.

B) unfairly, because they are created without considering that people with caring responsibilities are also pursuing academic careers.

C) unfairly, because they discourage mothers in particular from pursuing scientific careers.

D) fairly, because they are the same for all.

Required

4) Identify barriers in career development faced by scientists caring for young children.

(choose multiple correct answers)

A) Condition of long-term mobility abroad.

B) Acceptance of a break from publishing during parental leave.

C) Unfair behaviour by a supervisor on which the career of a doctoral or postdoctoral student depends.

D) Return grant, which partially covers the costs of childcare when returning from maternity or parental leave.
