Women in science subject of ASSAf report
This article has been supplied.
Company Announcement - The inclusion and participation of women in science are addressed in a report that will be launched by the Academy of Science of South Africa on 29 February 2016.
The report, Women for Science: Inclusion and Participation in Academies of Science was supported by the IAP – The Global Network of Science Academies. Other partners were the Organisation for Women in Science for the Developing World, the Inter-American Network of Academies of Science and the Network of African Science Academies. It documents the results of two surveys undertaken by the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences and ASSAf targeting member countries of the IAP.
As the first comprehensive survey of its kind and representing 63% of national science academies globally, it investigates women’s representation in membership, governance and science academy activities.
The IAP has been promoting the role of women in science for several years. Although great strides have been made in enrolling more women in undergraduate courses, especially in the biological and chemical sciences (success has been more limited in the areas of physics, mathematics and engineering), significant challenges remain in ensuring that women scientists are able to have fulfilling careers with increasing levels of responsibility, eventually taking up leadership and decision-making positions.
The report will be launched at the IAP Conference on Science Advice on 29 March 2016 at 18:00 at the Arabella Hotel, Hermanus, South Africa.
