On the occasion of the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, (25 November), and within the context of the Sustainable Development Goal N. 5 on “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”, the Working Group on Gender Equality of the International Union of Biological Sciences is launching the Webinar Series: “The Gender Gaps and the Biological Sciences.”
The series is intended to provide a framework to discuss issues related to different gender gaps within the context of the biological sciences communities towards identifying actions towards gender equity and equality. Among the topics which will be addressed there are gender pay gaps, promotion gaps, funding, and publication gaps, the leaky pipeline, gender lens in research, harassment, and many more topics also triggered and proposed by the IUBS community!
The first webinar will provide information on the series within the context of the activities of the IUBS Gender Equality Working Group.
Our distinguished speaker list includes:
- Lucilla Spini, University of Florence, Italy
- Catherine Jami, National Centre for Scientific Research, France
- Renuka Badhe, European Polar Board, The Netherlands
