Dear Presidents and Representatives of ICIAM member societies.
As you maybe remember, ICIAM is part of an international study about the Gender Gap in Science, mainly funded by ICSU (International Council for Science), and managed by IMU (International Mathematical Union).
One of the main tasks of that project is a global survey on practices of scientists, women and men, in order to better understand the origin of the gender gap.
This global survey is now open online. You can access it at the addresses below.

https://statisticalresearchcenter.aip.org/cgi-bin/global18.pl
Also, in those pages you can access letters written in English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Arabic that you can use to address your members. Please see below the links for all those letters.
As member of the project, ICIAM has promised to disseminate the call for this survey and make it possible that as many mathematicians as possible answer the survey. Therefore, I would be very thankful if you could address a dedicated message about this to ALL your members, proposing to them to answer to this important survey. You can use one of the letters below to address them if you wish.
Thank you very much for letting know ALL your members about this important survey and recommend them to answer it.
Thanking you very much in advance, Maria J. Esteban
