The project will involve an international consortium from UK, Poland, Spain, Slovenia, Belgium and Turkey.               To complete the consortium partners with the following profile are sought: - Academic partner from social sciences area, with expertise in Gender as beneficiaries. They need to have capacities to recruit PhD students. - Partner from industry - Artificial intelligence labs and/or recruitment companies  for secondments and trainings   The deadline for the proposal is in January 2019. If successful, the project will receive the funding from the European Commission for the duration of 4 years and will cover the costs of research training programme.
