Open lunch event: Where are all the women in Big Science?

Where are all the woman in Big Science?

Where are all the women? Why is the situation like it is? What can help bring about change? What do academia, the research facilities, and industry have to say on the matter? What can we as individuals do?

There is broad consensus that gender equality stimulates development and introduces new perspectives, but progress in this area is slow. We need more women in Big Science (and in many other areas) in order to make better decisions, to avoid missing out on important specialist expertise, and to create gender-equal work environments that promote creativity and innovation.

In our lunch debate, four panel members will be sharing their knowledge and experiences of the gender imbalance, bringing different perspectives to the discussion
