Annual Report of the Standing Committee on Gender Equality in Science

   The Standing Committee on Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) issued its first annual report.  SCGES has 15 partners representing scientists around the world, brought together across disciplines to promote gender equality in science.  The aim of SCGES is to ensure exchange of information amongst international scientific unions to foster gender equality and the implementation of recommendations of the “Gender Gap in Science Project.” (Information about this project can be found here.)
   This report, compiled after the committee’s first year of existence, is evidence of its current and future work in this endeavor. It contains brief reports from the 15 partners of SCGES, all of which have a stated commitment to gender equality, on structures and activities within their organizations that support gender equality.  The report is enlightening in the various avenues that can be taken to support gender equality.
