Summary
The aim of the GWB (Global Women’s Breakfast) series is to celebrate the accomplishments of Women in Science and to inspire younger generations to pursue careers in science. Held in conjunction with the U.N. Day of Women and Girls in Science, a central goal is to establish an active network of both women and men to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. The Global Breakfast facilitates the formation of communities on a local, regional, and international scale to effectively share ideas and strategies for progress. Over the last five years, more than 1500 GWB events have been held in 100 countries.
In 2023, we held our first in person GWB event at OIST discussing Breaking Barriers in Science. You can read more about the 2023 event here: https://www.oist.jp/news-center/news/2023/3/7/what-we-can-do-now-break-down-invisible-gender-barriers.
