To mark the International Day of Girls and Women in Science and International Women's Day 2019 we asked eight successful women in science to have an honest conversation about how their gender has affected their career. With no agenda, but to engage, inform, entertain and spark debate.
Why Support Women and Girls in Science and Technology?
Despite progress in ensuring opportunities for women in STEM fields, women and girls continue to be systematically underrepresented as users and leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In order to achieve the sustainable development goals, we need to ensure full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.
This section hosts a range of articles and posters featuring women working across a broad range of STEM careers, as well as hosting some fantastic STEM based podcasts.
"The world needs more women in Science. Today women are leaders in many fields of science, research, and discovery but there is still a distance to travel before there is gender parity in these roles. We are committed to creating more opportunities for women across all of our disciplines."
