Invitation à participer aux groupes de travail UNESCO pour l’égalité des genres dans les sciences

Nous avons l’honneur de vous faire suivre l’appel à participation lancé par l’UNESCO dans le cadre de son initiative “Closing the Gender Gap in Science”.

Dear Sir or Madam,

As part of the UNESCO Call to Action “Closing the Gender Gap in Science”, the UNESCO Gender Equality in Science team is delighted to invite you to the 2^nd series of the UNESCO Actions Groups for Women in Science.

 These open-ended working groups provide a valuable space to connect, exchange, and co-create with a diverse network of stakeholders. Together, we will explore upcoming UNESCO initiatives under this Call to Action, share good practices and innovative ideas, and identify opportunities for collaboration to advance gender equality in science.

 The next series of working group meetings will take place online (via Zoom) in May 2025, and will be held in English. Below, you will find the schedule and registration links, with each Action Group focused on one of the three key pillars of the Call to Action:

The agenda and background documents for each session will be sent by email to all registered participants in advance.
