Building on that, ECWO now embraces a vision of a world of inclusive prosperity. This is an official page of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University

The founding purpose of Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations was to empower women & create a level playing field by building communities for organisational change. The Centre achieves its mission by contributing to management education pedagogy and content, through actively engaging in the gender debate, and by having direct impact on gender in the workforce. Women are innovative,creative an

d intelligent, and through collaboration, shared challenges, encouragement, and empowering others, we collectively master leadership, build teams, improve communication, and make senior management diversity a reality.

Today is International Women's Day and at ECWO we support the UN theme of “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls” which calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.

"Nowadays, no nation has closed the legal gaps between men and women. Right now, women have only 64 per cent of the legal rights that men hold worldwide. In fundamental areas of life, including work, money, safety, family, property, mobility, business, and retirement – the law systematically disadvantages women." UN Women

We are thrilled to share that Micky Chen has won the 2025 Dianne Bevelander Prize! 🥇

Micky becomes the fourth winner of an award that honours an individual who has furthered gender equality during the previous year and was established as part of continuing the legacy of ECWO's founder, Prof. Dianne Bevelander.

The jury recognised Micky for being the driving force behind HerFuture, a community, platform and mobile app that is built by women in tech, for women in tech, and that aims to empower females in IT and STEM while helping companies reduce their gender gap.

“What makes Micky unique is that she truly is a role model who has real focus and who embraces sisterhood – both literally through the impressive founders work she has done with her sister, Linky, and through the creation of communities within HerFuture,” said ECWO’s Executive Director and Dianne Bevelander Prize jury chair, Prof. Hanneke Takkenberg.

“Micky really embodies everything that Dianne stood for and built at ECWO, and it was no surprise that the jury found her to be a worthy winner.”

HerFuture recently expanded its impact with the launch of HerFuture+, a new label for mid and senior-level women in tech. While HerFuture has become the leading community for early STEM talent, HerFuture+ responds to what Chen calls a “lifelong need for belonging”.

Huge congratulations, Micky! 🎊🎊🎊
