IFPRI is participating in the Global Forum on Women in Scientific Research (GoFoWiSeR). 

With ongoing concern about the low numbers of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and in the wake of the #MeToo movement, there is a growing momentum to pay attention to the low numbers and poor experiences of women in science.

The Forum will bring together over 200 participants including leaders of research institutions, research funders, female scientists and other stakeholders, to discuss the trends and strategies toward increasing women’s numbers and experiences in STEM.
