The participation of women in science and their impact on research has been growing in recent decades. Women are increasingly involved in shaping the scientific agenda as researchers, academic teachers, science policy makers, administrators of universities and research funding institutions. What is this impact? What difference do they make?
With the support of the European Commission, networks of women scientists across Europe and across disciplines have joined forces and created the European Platform of Women Scientists. EPWS offers a vibrant forum for sharing experiences and knowledge, and envisioning new tools and directions for change towards gender equality in science and research policy - an aim that is in keeping with the goals of the Lisbon Agenda of the European Union.
The conference will explore and highlight the current and future impact of women scientists on the scientific community, in the policy making process, and in reflecting social aspects of science. Particular attention will be paid to the contribution and situation of women scientists from the Baltic States. Prominent keynote speakers will address core questions such as the relative progress and continuing contradictions regarding women and science. The conference will be a lively market place of networks, ideas, and partnerships. Women scientists will have the opportunity to present their work both through participating in topical sessions and/or through a poster exhibition highlighting research conducted at EU level.
