Women in Science Policy-Making: Driving Inclusive and Equitable Decision-Making

Thursday September 26, 2024 8:00am - 9:00am EDT

This session will explore the vital role of women in shaping science policy at national, regional, and global levels. Women’s participation in science policy-making is essential for ensuring that decisions reflect diverse perspectives and address the unique challenges women and other marginalized groups face in science, technology, and innovation (STI).

The discussion will highlight women's barriers to accessing leadership roles in science policy, including gender biases, structural inequalities, and limited access to networks of influence. Panelists will share strategies for overcoming these challenges and emphasize the importance of fostering inclusive policy environments where women can thrive as decision-makers.

This session aims to showcase how women’s leadership in science policy leads to more equitable and innovative outcomes through case studies, policy insights, and personal experiences. It will also address the need for targeted initiatives to support women in science policy, emphasizing mentorship, capacity-building, and policy reforms that promote gender equality in decision-making.

By the end of the session, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how inclusive science policy benefits society and learn practical steps to empower more women to take leadership roles in shaping the future of science and technology governance.
