Science has a diversity problem. Women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and socially disadvantaged
individuals are steadily underrepresented in science and, more specifically, in academia. A growing body of
literature has emerged in recent years on this issue and some institutions and scientific communities are
currently seeking to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This webinar will explore two possible ways scientific community can be actively non-discriminatory: by creating awareness and by taking concrete action. The webinar will focus on gender-related issue and will outline strategies to identify and eradicate structural discrimination both in the workplace and in our everyday life.
