Speaker
Description
Women and several minority groups are underrepresented in leadership positions in scientific institutions. How does iDiv compare to the global picture? In general, female researchers face both structural and individual challenges, including lower income, fewer career development opportunities, unconscious biases, discrimination, and harassment. The first step to changing this reality is to promote awareness, and this has been the main goal of the Female Scientists initiative created in April 2023 at iDiv. The initiative is now led by five iDiv postdocs and has grown into a network of more than 110 members. We have accomplished more than 20 activities aimed at increasing transparency and supporting female scientists. During the iDiv Conference, we want to share our experiences and knowledge on gender inequalities in science and engage in an open discussion within the community. We aim to move towards a more diverse, safe, healthy, and equitable environment for all.
