Wom=n Research & Equity Committee

This committee aims to empower female scientists in the workplace, inspire girls to pursue science careers, and organise inclusive, family-friendly activities and talks addressing topics pertinent to women in academia open for everyone to attend.

We are a very active committee searching for new volunteers to join us to either help us to run our current initiatives or to bring your own ideas. We will provide all the necessary tools and contacts to make them happen.

If you want to know more about what we do at the Wom=n Research & Equity Committee, suggest organising an activity with our commitee, or you would like to join our team, please contact us at [email protected].

What do we do at the Wom=n Research & Equity Committee?

The Women Research & Equity Committee aims to:

  • For women scientists: Empower women in research careers by providing tools to combat workplace discrimination, fostering professional growth through capacity building, leadership, and self-esteem activities, and supporting work-family balance with family-friendly events and shared experience groups. We also organise inclusive, family-friendly activities and talks addressing topics pertinent to women in academia open for everyone to attend.
  • For school teachers of future women scientists: Encourage girls to pursue STEM careers by offering age-appropriate activities featuring female scientist role models or stories written by women scientists.
  • For the general public: Increase awareness of women’s contributions to research by showcasing the work of women in STEM, emphasising the importance of their research, and highlighting gender equality in research capabilities, leadership, and management.
