Women in leadership positions at IDI.NTNU – Faegheh Hasibi

One of my heart projects is the Women in leadership positions at the Department of Computer and Information Science (supported by NTNU likestilling project). The program has just started and is leaded by Lars Asle Einarsen, specialist in Work and Organizational psychology Partner LEAD as.
Through this project I learn to know better my female colleagues. Here I want to shed light to a new relationship that deserves attention. PhD student  Faegheh Hasibi, whom I did not know personally from before contributes specially with her knowledge and interest about the International network of women in computing.

six weeks to go #boardmeeting @idintnu #strategy #focus

Six weeks to the first IDI’s board meeting – we will work with strategy and resource plan (bemanningsplan).
Note that strategy and resource plan have been available at IDI’s intranett since the Autumn. And my Åre’s presentation is also available.
Focus should be on preparing for this milestone.
Six weeks to my vacation. But this is another story.
