ISC webinar on the inclusion and participation of women in global science organizations
For ISC Members and your networks
In the frame of the ISC Gender Equality in Science project (https://council.science/actionplan/gender-equality/), the ISC – together with GenderINSITE and the IAP – published a study in 2021 reporting on the inclusion and participation of women in more than 120 science organizations that are coordinated at a global level, finding that women are still under-represented. Join us for the related webinar presenting the findings of this study.
