At Rennes 2, the Equality Mission works to promote a local environment for our students and staff that is founded on respect, equal opportunities, and the prevention of discrimination. As part of the university’s 2025–2028 Equality Plan, these commitments are being reinforced through awareness-raising initiatives and public events.

Throughout March, the university community is invited to take part in a rich programme of discussions, performances, exhibitions, and conferences exploring these key themes.

Conference Day: Equality and the Sciences – The Place of Women

How do academic disciplines reinforce male-dominated perspectives when they overlook, exclude, or discriminate against women? And conversely, how can they foster greater equality?
