With the GYA, I was not only able to co-lead the first global study on research assessment but also to serve as a steering board member of CoARA. GYA opened platforms for me as a researcher coming from a country without research infrastructure.

💡 #WomenInScience: Women represent about one third of researchers worldwide (UNESCO, 2022). Yet they remain comparatively underrepresented in national academies and international scientific unions — important institutions that shape scientific recognition, leadership and decision-making.Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the International Science Council, the InterAcademy Partnership and the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science launch a new global report examining this gap: council.science/publications/towards-gender-equality-in-scientific-organizations/.The analysis draws on institutional data from 136 organizations, survey responses from nearly 600 scientists, and a dozen interviews with representatives of scientific organizations. Together, these sources support a multi-level assessment of women’s representation, participation, leadership, and recognition, combining structural analysis with lived experience.
