There is broad consensus that gender equality stimulates development and introduces new perspectives, but progress in this area is slow. We need more women in Big Science (and in many other areas) in order to make better decisions, to avoid missing out on important specialist expertise, and to create gender-equal work environments that promote creativity and innovation.

In our lunch debate, Anne-Charlotte Joubert (ESS), Tomas Brage (Lund University), Barbro Åsman (Stockholm University/CERN), and Giuliana Manzin (ILL) will be sharing their knowledge and experiences of the gender imbalance, bringing different perspectives to the discussion.
