The Academy's STEM Women initiative is now extending its reach across the globe. With the support of the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) and the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS), the current STEM Women platform will be expanded to include profiles of women scientists from any country in the world.
Building on regional impact
Building on the impact of the existing platforms, this project will facilitate women working in STEM professions across the world to be offered exciting opportunities to progress their careers and personal capabilities.
The project highlights the Academy's ongoing commitment to promoting gender equity in STEM by showcasing the breadth of scientific talent across the world, so that women researchers and professionals working in STEM across all countries can be easily discovered and offered career-advancing opportunities.
Inclusive by design
As well as expanding the platform for global reach, the project will explore tools and mechanisms to support scientists in exile and will introduce multilingual options for equity of access across locations and cultures.
The platform is expected to launch in November 2022, and expressions of interest to be featured on the platform will open in June.
