Women and Science: gender equality awareness month between June 3 and 30

So what is the state of gender equality in scientific circles? How does prejudice, whether conscious or unconscious, concerning gender difference affect the quality of scientific research at the Institut Pasteur? How can we improve well-being in the workplace and facilitate the careers of female scientists?

The Women and Science working group is continuing its activity with events scheduled throughout the month of June, which is gender equality awareness month, for which Carla Saleh will be special guest speaker. This activity includes eight events structured around three key topics:

1. Review the current situation on gender equality in scientific circles

2. Tackle prejudice to strengthen our scientific activity

3. Improve well-being in the workplace and the careers of female scientists

An international panel of experts share their experience of these issues via video conference on Teams between June 3 and 30. Discussion sessions will be held at the end of each one. Talks will be in English, except for the one on sexist acts which will be held in French and English.
