<p>Dear OWSD network,</p>
<p>The organizers of the ICSU <a href="https://icsugendergapinscience.org/" target="_blank">Gender Gap in Science</a>
project have assembled a Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing,
and Natural
Scientists, and would like to invite you all to participate in the
survey. <br>
</p>
<p>Please see below a letter of invitation from the Survey
Coordinators Marie-Francoise Roy Mei-Hung Chiu. The same letter is
attached, in English as well in French, Chinese, Spanish and
Arabic. <br>
</p>
<p>As women in the sciences with invaluable experiences and insights
on this issue, we strongly encourage you to take the survey, which
is available <a href="https://statisticalresearchcenter.aip.org/cgi-bin/global18.pl" target="_blank">on
the website</a> in seven languages. Thank you for contributing
to reduce the gender gap in science around the world. <br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>OWSD Secretariat <br>

<p>Dear Colleague: <br>
</p>
<p>You are invited to participate in the 2018 Global Survey of
Mathematical, Computing, and Natural
Scientists.</p>
<p>
You will find the survey at
<a class="m_-548580845323186976moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://statisticalresearchcenter.org/global18" target="_blank">http://<wbr>statisticalresearchcenter.org/<wbr>global18</a> <br>
</p>
<p>The survey is available in seven languages (English, French,
Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and
Japanese). Simply choose your language on the first page of the
survey. <br>
</p>
<p>The survey is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration of
eleven partners, supported by the International
Council for Science (ICSU), which aims to better understand the
problems mathematical, computing, and
natural science academics and practitioners are facing around the
world. The partners are: <br>
</p>
<ol>
<li> International Mathematical Union (IMU) <br>
</li>
<li>International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) <br>
</li>
<li>International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) <br>
</li>
<li>International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(ICIAM) <br>
</li>
<li>International Astronomical Union (IAU) <br>
</li>
<li>United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) </li>
<li>International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) </li>
<li>Gender in Science, Innovation, Technology and Engineering
(GenderInSITE) <br>
</li>
<li>International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and
Technology (IUHPST) <br>
</li>
<li>Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World
(OWSD) <br>
</li>
<li>Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) <br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>One of the specific tasks for the project is to collect data
across the world to inform policy makers from
all countries, especially developing countries, about reducing the
gap between men and women in
mathematical, computing, and natural sciences. <br>
</p>
<p>The data are being collected by the non-profit Statistical
Research Center of the American Institute of
Physics. Responses to this survey are voluntary, and your
individual information will be held in strict
confidence. We are aiming for thousands of respondents from every
corner of the world! <br>
</p>
<p>We will also need your help to find more respondents (men and
women), to answer this survey. Please
forward this e-mail to send it to anyone (both men and women) who
has studied or worked in
mathematics, computing, natural sciences, or the history and
philosophy of science and technology. You
can find the cover letters in all seven languages of the survey
here:

It is only by hearing from as many people as possible that we can
understand the worldwide
situation for people in these fields.
Thank you for your help with this important effort. <br>
</p>
<p>Sincerely, <br>
</p>
