- Skapa ett forum där skolans kvinnliga akademiker kan träffas
- Bidra till att uppfylla målen i KTH:s jämställdhetspolicy
I uppdraget ingår att, cirka fem gånger per år, ordna möten för skolans kvinnliga anställda inom forskning och undervisning.
Nätverket organiserar luncher och seminarier för att öka förståelsen och medvetenheten för jämställdhet. Syftet är att ge support och skapa nya kontakter för medlemmarna i Q-SCI-nätverket. Vidare är ambitionen att anpassa verksamheten på SCI-skolan efter KTH:s integrationsplan för jämställdhet.
