Addressing the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a major goal of many countries. Initiatives established to meet this challenge are broad ranging from intervention programs in primary, secondary and tertiary education to industry-based interventions targeted at the workplace
UMALCA (Unión Matemática de América Latina y el Caribe) recentey launched its Commission on Gender and Diversity (Comisión de Género y Diversidad de Umalca, CGD-Umalca.
CWM and EWM are organizing a joint meeting on Gender Gap in Science Project that will take place on 16 March 2021, 16:00-18:00 CET. In the meeting, Colette Guillopé, Helena Mihaljević, Rachel Ivie and>Marie-Françoise Roy will present various chapters from the final report of the Gender Gap in Science Project.
The registration for the event is open here . The registration deadline is March 14 and the link to the event will be emailed to registered participants on March 15.
EWM and MATH+ are organizing a panel discussion on gender balance in mathematics in connection with the movie "Picture a Scientist".
The panel discussion will take place on March 11 from 19:30-21:00 CET. The panel will start by a 30-min talk by K. Clancy on sexual harassment (and more generally gender gap). The talk will be followed by a panel discussion involving her as well as Ingrid Daubechies, Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, Bernd Sturmfels, and Andrea Walther.
The OWSD Fellowship is offered to women scientists from Science and Technology Lagging Countries to undertake PhD research in the natural, engineering and information technology sciences at a host institute in the South.
Costs covered include travel to the host country, tuition fees, board, accommodation and living expenses, and a special allowance for travel to international conferences.
Two types of fellowship are available: A full-time fellowship (maximum 4 years funding), or a sandwich fellowship (minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 research visits at the host institute).
