Gender bias in academia - Closing the gap!
Abstract: The Gender & Science Commission of the Iberian Association of Limnology (www.genderlimno.org) is a vibrant collective committed to transforming the way we study and manage inland waters — making it smarter, fairer, and more inclusive. Since 2014, we've been breaking barriers: publishing eye-opening research on the obstacles women face in science, leading powerful initiatives to spotlight the crucial role of women in limnology, and crafting bold guidelines to push institutions toward real equity. Note that we talk about gender in a simplification for clarity but our work translates to all diversities. In this presentation, we’re diving deep into gender bias in academia — and sharing the moves and strategies we've developed to challenge it. We'll leave you with fresh insights, real-world actions, and a toolkit to spark change.

IGB Colloquia open up!
IGB strives to facilitate and accelerate the exchange of knowledge and ideas within and also outside of IGB. One element contributing to inter- and transdisciplinary exchange, and more (scientific) cooperation and innovation, is to open up IGB Colloquia to an interested external audience from science (other research institutes, universities, laboratories) as well as practice (i.e. conservationists, freshwater/land-use managers, authorities, associations). If you would like to join this IGB Colloquium as a guest, we ask you to register until the morning of the colloquium 10 o'clock the latest. After we have checked your registration, you will receive the participation link.
