How can they Help?

However, women with additional childcare responsibilities may face barriers in performing this additional work, putting them at a disadvantage compared to colleagues who do not have similar responsibilities. Capstone Editing recognizes the increased difficulties faced by female academics in advancing and maintaining their careers, and aims to address this situation by providing practical and financial support through this grant.
