[Equal] EQ-UNI: The European Commission launches a viral sexist video to "encourage women in Science"

[Keller Seitz Monika (Prs)]

Hi everybody



The European Commission made this lovely commercial to get more women into science. It provoked quite un uproar and is an excellent example of how not to do it (by the way it's said to have cost 127'000 EUR...)



Watch the video at   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g032MPrSjFA



Have a nice evening!



Monika
