Here we are compiling a list of actions, programs, statements, etc that have been undertaken in different places to improve the situation of women scientists and help reduce the gender gap in science. The list is partial and under continuous improvement. The presentations of Workshop participants can be found here.
Schemes to change institutional environments:
