Gender Summit 8 North & Latin America

Science without borders: Improving impact by interlinking gender, geographic, disciplinary and educational dimensions.
28 - 29 April 2016, Mexico City

This Gender Summit aims to highlight how science can be a tool to break all kinds of borders: gender, geographic, disciplinary and educational borders. The kind of science able to break these boundaries comes from an environment of diversity and inclusion, key elements to innovation.

Main Objectives:

Addressing gender issues in science and technology from a multidisciplinary approach.
Innovating from a gender perspective.
