Background Noise. A Video to Raise Awareness Among Evaluation Committees for Competitions
As part of CNR's strategy to support gender equality and the inclusion of diversity, particular importance is placed on recruitment processes. The main objective is to raise awareness among evaluation committees for competitions about issues related to gender bias and deeply rooted unconscious cultural biases. These preconceptions often escape our awareness and can significantly affect evaluations and judgments, limiting talented and competent candidates' opportunities to express their full potential. The video “Il Rumore di Fondo” (Eng: "Background Noise"), created by Ilaria Di Tullio (Gender Equality Officer) and Francesca Zedda (Press Officer for the President), is a crucial component of the implementation of the Gender Equality Plan 2022-2024 and the CNR Reorganization and Relaunch Plan. It plays a key role in promoting gender equality and the parity between women and men
