Hybrid event: How to evaluate and reduce the gender gap in science?

With the International Day for Women and Girls in Science fast approaching, it is timely to revisit the report, A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It? Released in 2020 as part of a three-year project by nine international scientific organizations, the report suggested four areas of future work for the international scientific community to address the gender gap in science.

The event will take place on 14 February 2023 in conjunction with the International Day, the International Year of Basic Science for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD), and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry – IUPAC’s – Global Women’s Breakfast.

The hybrid webinar event will take place in Paris and online, with organizers keen to reflect on the original report’s results, follow-up activities and outcomes, and to learn about alternative approaches to addressing the gender gap. They also have a keen eye on the need to build allies from the international science community, with both men and women encouraged to attend the event.
