April 7-8, 2010 - VIENNA | LEADER SHE International Forum & Awards
On April 7th and 8th, elite women personalities of the World gather in Vienna at LeaderSHE International Forum, to debate, in a solutions-driven dialogue, major themes of the day: the aftermath of the economic meltdown - reinventing business models, strategies for sustainable growth and innovation, government-driven solutions for business sustainability, globalization or market expansion. The event is organized by Forum Invest Romania with the special support of Mr. Erhard Busek, former Vice Chancellor of Austria.
Having confirmed her presence at LeaderSHE, Ms. Nahed Taher, founder and CEO of Gulf One Investment Bank, the first woman to lead a bank in Gulf area, states that women are the next trend in the banking industry, currently at historical lows. Ms. Taher says that: “Women leadership will prove to be essential in banking business. Women leaders in banks enhance more productive financing strategies in infrastructure and knowledge based, rather than focusing on overvalued consumption financial instrument, personal debt, and extremely financial fees” .
Ms. Isabel Aguilera, director of INDRA Sistemas Spain (former CEO of GE and Google Spain & Portugal) and one of the 50 Most Influential Executives in the World according to Fortune Magazine, who will also be present in Vienna, says that in slowdown times, women need to become more a reference than ever. ”It is a good momentum to make the necessary thinking on detecting potential efficiencies and to leverage innovation, service and hard work”, added Aguilera.
Barbara Kolm, President of the European Center for Economic Growth – Austria, Tsetska Tsacheva, President of the Bulgarian Parliament, Selma Aliye Kavaf, State Minister for Women and Family Affairs - Turkey, Elisabeth Rehn, the First Woman Minister of Defense in Finland and Presidential Candidate in 2000 are just some of the leading women in the world who have confirmed their participation at LEADER SHE Forum in Vienna.

Invitation: Roundtable Discussion on the Gender Dimensions of the Global Financial Meltdown,
Thursday 28 January 2010, University Vienna, 17:00-19:00.
It is our pleasure to invite you to a roundtable discussion of the recent GARNET Policy Brief entitled The Global Financial Meltdown and the Impact of Financial Governance on Gender, to be held at the University of Vienna, Institute for Political Science (Institut für Politikwissenschaft) on Thursday, 28 January 2010, 17-19 o'clock.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos 2009, some of the most interesting discussions revolved around whether we would be in the same mess today if Lehmann Brothers had been Lehmann Sisters. The financial crisis has turned a spot-light on the low female representation in top positions of financial institutions, and also in the decision making bodies of key regulatory institutions, central banks, and formal and informal financial networks. A certain "groupthink", a result of boards drawn from a narrow social group, has been widely blame for the financial crisis we find ourselves in today. The various networks of knowledge-based experts are exclusive and exclusionary clubs equipped with an authoritative claim to policyrelevant knowledge. The Roundtable will discuss the implications of the global financial meltdown and the impact of financial governance on gender.
The Policy Brief will be presented by Professor Brigitte Young, University of Muenster, and Dr. Helene Schuberth, economist at the National Bank of Austria. The discussion will be introduced by Professor Eva Kreisky, University of Vienna, and moderated by Dr. Elisabeth Klatzer, Federal Chancellery of Austria.
GARNET is a Network of Excellence on "Global Governance, Regionalism and Regulation: The Role of the EU" funded by the EU and comprising 42 leading universities and research centers. GARNET Policy Briefs draw from the original research of scholars within the network to create a basis for policy recommendations for decision-makers in Europe and abroad.
The Roundtable will take place at the Universität Wien, Institut für Politikwissenschaft,
Universitätsstr. 7/2, Stock (NIG), Konferenzraum, Zi.Nr. A 0222

Gleicher Lohn für gleiche Arbeit
Der Tag der Entgeltgleichheit (»Equal Pay Day«) wird in Österreich heuer am 27. September
begangen. An diesem Tag haben die unselbständig beschäftigten Männer bereits jene Summe verdient, für die Frauen noch bis Jahresende arbeiten müssen. Denn durchschnittlich erhalten bei ganzjähriger Vollzeitbeschäftigung die Frauen in Österreich um 26,2% weniger Lohn als die Männer. Es gibt keinen Arbeitsbereich, in dem Frauen im Schnitt mehr verdienen als Männer.
Studien zufolge können rund 15% des Gehaltsunterschieds weder durch die Berufs-wahl, noch die kürzeren Verdienstzeiten oder Arbeitszeit erklärt werden, sondern schlichtweg dadurch, dass Frauen Frauen sind.
Österreich muss als EU-Mitgliedstaat die Anwendung des Grundsatzes der Entgeltgleichheit sicherstellen. Aus der Analyse der Ursachen für ungleiche und niedrige Entlohnung von Frauen und der Barrieren, die der Umsetzung des Prinzips der Entgeltgleichheit entgegenstehen, lassen sich Maßnahmen und Instrumente entwickeln. In der Podiumsdiskussion stellen sich die Teilnehmenden der Frage, wie der Anspruch auf gleiches Entgelt für gleiche und gleichwertige Arbeit in der Praxis umgesetzt wird und werden soll.
Um Anmeldung bis 22. September unter
martina.janich@bka.gv.at wird gebeten

Training Workshop 1: Meditation and Focusing, 6 to 9 pm
Dr. Lyly Rojas de Knaus
Meditation is not only for Indian gurus or Tibetan monks. Even control-freaks and power-chunkies can benefit from meditation (and from a very powerful technique called focusing which Lyly will also introduce). An ever-changing world, constant work overload and the crazy speed of our lives are just some of the aspects that make up stress and keep us from leading the life we want, deep down. Bring:?..(the knot in your stomach that stress creates?) **Note: Groups will range from 7 (minimum) to 10 participants. The fee is ATS 850,- or EURO 62 for members (non-members pay an additional ATS 138,- or an additional EURO 10).
