What is Her Research Matters and why it matters at Monash Parkville Campus?
Only 17 per cent of senior scientists within Australian universities are women. Her Research Matters (HRM) responds to this challenge by supporting women and gender diverse researchers within the Monash Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
HRM is a grassroots, Faculty led initiative based at Monash in Parkville. It focuses on creating a more inclusive and equitable research environment by supporting career progression, strengthening professional networks, and increasing the visibility and impact of research led by women. The collective brings together researchers at different career stages, along with allies, to help remove systemic barriers and foster leadership in science.
Through networking and sponsorship, advocacy for policy change, and initiatives that showcase research excellence, HRM contributes to a stronger research culture across the Faculty. Its work supports early and established researchers, creates role models for the next generation, and connects research with broader national and international communities.
Join HRM and see how Her Research Matters has been shaping conversations, opportunities and connections at Monash, and why this work continues to be important for the future of research.
