Promoting gender equality in physics: Barriers and opportunities

The workshop will enable a common learning space to physicists, sociologists and gender experts, and practitioners promoting gender diversity in physics in universities and research institutes around the world. The format will consist of a small number of open-ended presentations per day that develop into free discussions.

The main goal of the workshop is sharing the knowledge and experience that has been gained around the world in enhancing the integration of female physicists in the academy as part of improving gender balance and diversity in math-intensive disciplines.
