Standing Committe for Gender Equality in Science

The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science was established by 9 International Unions, including IMU. Its purpose is to circulate information among its partners, and promote cooperation on initiative for gender equality in science among them, and between them and other organizations, in particular by supporting women and girls’ equal access to science education and fostering equal opportunity and treatment for females in their careers.
