Those web talks are part of an on-going collaboration between the ministry and the University to develop a gender policy based on scientific evidence.<\/p><p>The videos are released on a weekly basis on the website and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLWePPVNHBID4BxAaF5fzsRNVUlME2GgAV\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p><p>19.11.2020<\/p><p>Minister of Equality between Women and Men Taina Bofferding discusses how gender stereotypes affect our society and talks about the importance of scientific research to shape gender policy.<\/p><p>25.11.2020<\/p><p>Dr Andr\u00e9 Melzer, assistant professor in Psychology at the University of Luxembourg explains how stereotypes are formed in our minds from a socio-psychological perspective.
