The women-core project is not unique in the sense that it is working on the perspective of gender equality within research. Norwip, which is a network for women in physics, held their annual meeting on Friday the 17^th of august in Lyngby, Denmark. A few staff members from the WOMEN-CORE-Team in Denmark represented WOMEN CORE on this venue, along with team members from CIREM and Labein. The main objective for our participation was to expand our already existing network of researchers and to maintain our ongoing efforts to inform and communicate about our project.
