Summary

This event will bring together researchers, academics, and institutional leaders to discuss strategies for promoting gender equity in science. Through a dynamic panel discussion, we will explore institutional policies that foster inclusivity, highlight women's contributions to STEM, and identify challenges that persist in the Cameroonian context. Featuring two female scientists and a male panelist heading an engineering school, the discussion will provide insights into mentorship, funding, and leadership opportunities for women in STEM. The event aims to inspire actionable commitments from institutions and individuals to create a more equitable scientific landscape in Cameroon.
