Conference on Women shaping science
5 June 2008 - 5 June 2008
Lithuania
The European Platform of Women Scientists (EPWS) will hold its first annual conference entitled 'Women shaping science' from 5 to 7 June in Vilnius, Lithuania. The event is organised in collaboration with BASNET, the Baltic States Network: Women in Sciences and High Technology.
The conference will explore and highlight the current and future impact of women scientists on the scientific community, in the policy-making process, and in reflecting social aspects of science. Particular attention will be paid to the contribution and situation of women scientists from the Baltic States.
Prominent keynote speakers will address core questions such as the relative progress and continuing contradictions regarding women and science. The conference will be a market place of networks, ideas, and partnerships. Women scientists will have the opportunity to present their work both through participating in topical sessions and through a poster exhibition highlighting research conducted at EU level.
The EPWS is supported by the European Commission under its Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).For further information, please visit:
