On International Women’s Day, we launch #FromPresenceToPower, a mini-series on leading #WomenInScience in cooperation with @IAPartnership!
Our first feature, EASAC President Lise Øvreås reminds us that advancing gender equality in science requires structural change so women can lead, influence, and help shape the agenda. Let’s keep pushing for structural change, equal opportunity, and representation at every level.
