Open Science for Global Inclusion: Empowering Women Scientists
This webinar will bring together experts from UNESCO’s Open Science Working Groups (established under the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science) and Action Groups for Women in Science (as part of the 2024 UNESCO Call to Action “Closing the Gender Gap in Science”).
The session will explore the gender aspects of open science practices and assess how open science can advance gender equality and how, in turn, gender equality can strengthen open science.
As a first step, this webinar will explore:
- The mutual benefits and challenges of open science and gender equality in science;
- The gender aspects of open science practices; and
- UNESCO’s role in ensuring that open science effectively contributes to gender equality in
science and vice versa, and potential opportunities for further action
