Scientists are leaders in future development and innovation, but there is one area where they are working to catch up – equal pay.
Over the last two hundred years many brilliant, dedicated and determined women have pursued science and yet, while women comprise more than half of science PhD graduates and early career researchers, they are just 17 per cent of senior academics in Australian universities and research institutes.
How can the next two hundred years be different for women in this industry? The panel of high profile, inspirational women and men in science will focus on solutions and identify effective, practical steps to make a positive difference to the working lives and career prospects of women in science and their families – starting now.
