ParentsNet

ParentsNet is a forum aiming to put people around the Medical Sciences Division in contact, and to give parents the opportunity to share and find a place where to exchange goods and ideas alike.

The forum has been developed in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) following the implementation of their Athena SWAN Bronze Award Action Plan, in consultation with the Divisional Athena SWAN team. The administration and moderation of the forum is shared between DPAG and the Divisional Athena SWAN team.
