Meeting of European science leaders on the gender dimension in science ‘How can European Science benefit from taking integrated action on gender’ 10 May 2010 14 leading science leaders from around Europe will meet in Paris to continue discussion on the gender dimension in science. The meeting follows on the deliberations that have taken place at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London on 25-26th March and in Berlin on 29-30th April. Among the issues they will address is the persistent concern of how to remove gender inequalities and biases in recruitment, retention, and advancement of men and women; how to ensure fairness and prevent gender bias in assessment of scientists’ work; how to make research process sensitive to factors related to gender and sex; and how to make sure that science knowledge-making and the science value system recognises when claims to knowledge are based on wrong assumptions about the nature and role of gender and sex. read more and Portia's other NEWS |
