Summary

On 11 February, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, ISC, IAP and SCGES invite the global science community to the presentation of the findings of their landmark project examining gender equality across academies, unions, and disciplinary societies worldwide. The study provides the clearest picture to date of how women participate, lead, and are recognized within scientific organizations — and where barriers remain.
The report brings together institutional data from 136 organizations with reflections from nearly 650 scientists and targeted interviews, offering an unprecedented view of both the structures and lived experiences that shape access, leadership, and inclusion in scientific organizations.
This webinar will present the main findings, highlight examples of effective practices, and open a discussion on the structural changes needed to make scientific institutions more equitable and representative.
