SCGES

What is SCGES ?

In order to promote gender equality in science, a number of international scientific organisations who took part in the project A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It? wish to act together to further promote this goal by continuing and enlarging the work accomplished so far, in particular by supporting women and girls’ equal access to science education, fostering equal opportunity and treatment for females in their careers. For this purpose, they established a Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) in September 2020.

What is the SCGES Directory ?

Half of the world population consists of women. However, women represent only about a third of scientists; this proportion falls under 15% among the leaders of the scientific community. An increasingly large number of initiatives seek to remedy this situation, which is detrimental to science as well as to women. These initiatives are at the local, national, regional, or international level, within or across scientific disciplines.

The SCGES has launched a worldwide online directory of these initiatives, so as to give them better visibility.
