Hybrid Webinar: How to evaluate and reduce the Gender Gap in Science?

The interdisciplinary and international Gender Gap in Science project ended in 2019. It is timely to reflect on its results, follow up and outcomes and to learn about alternative approaches. This hybrid webinar is the participation of the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science to the Global Women’s breakfast.
The event will be held in hybrid format (in-person and online) on February 14th, 2023 in Aubervilliers, (Greater Paris, France).

Members of the CWM are appointed for four years by the IMU Executive Committee and are widely distributed internationally. The CWM has a chair and vice--chair and 6 to 8 members--at--large. One of the CWM members is responsible for the CWM website and electronic communication. See list of members here.

Marie-Françoise Roy received the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa on December 7 2022 from the University of Bath "in recognition of her distinguished career as a geometer and her leading role as an advocate for women in mathematics".
