Abstract submissions are now being accepted for the second
International International Women in Science Without Borders, which
will be held 21-23 March 2018 in Johannesburg, South Africa. <br>
<br>
The conference will focus on the role women play in influencing
positive outcomes within the science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) ecosystem as, amongst others, thought leaders and
mentors, researchers, educators and policy makers. <br>
<br>
The conference organizers aim to provide funding for travel and/or
accommodation to deserving delegates. Priority will be given to
delegates from Africa and other developing countries with emphasis
on supporting early to mid-career female researchers.<br>
<br>
The conference will span 3-days that will include high-level plenary
speakers including OWSD President Jennifer Thomson, panel
discussions on challenges in STEM research such as the gender gap,
funding, work-life balance, along with technical presentation
sessions. All contributed presentations will undergo peer-review
prior to being accepted.<br>
<br>
Abstracts will be accepted until 13 October. For more information,
