Watch or listen: The AIC Presents Women in STEM

The coronavirus pandemic has shown the vital role that science and research have in understanding the world we live in, and helping to develop sound policy and evidence-based decisions in the face of an unprecedented situation.

 

Gender equality is critical to improved research and application. However, on average, only 30% of the world’s researchers are women, and women are still underrepresented as both students and employees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Our webinar, which took place from 10 am WIB (11 am WITA, 1pm AEST) on 16 July, aimed to:

  • Introduce women who are clearing the path and providing inspiration,
  • Learn how to overcome challenges in STEM fields; and
  • Understand that study in STEM is good for a career, and good for the world.
