Science Policies meet Gender, Women and Youth in Science

Dec 1, 2006 - Dec 2, 2006

Title of Training :	Science Policies meet Reality: Gender, Women and Youth in Science in Central and Eastern Europe
Institution :	The Central European Centre for Women and Youth in Science
Location :	Prague, Czech Republic
Course Type :	2 day gathering
Description :	As the Central European Centre for Women and Youth in Science, the first regional support project for women and youth in science funded by the EC, is drawing to its close, this conference will provide an opportunity to assess the impact of the project and present findings and results. This will be done against the backdrop of recognising the growing significance of the gap between the goals of science policies and programmes and their actual implementation. This conference will discuss for the first time in East-Central Europe current obstacles to successful science policy implementation and discrepancies between the status quo and stated goals concerning gender equality and the position of early stage researchers. This will be done through discussing/disseminating existing research and policy implementation practices. The conference will bring together researchers from all fields of science, activists and policymakers.
