Empowering Women Scientists: 20 Years of EPWS and the Road Ahead
Place: Brussels
The European Platform of Women Scientists (EPWS) invites to the conference Empowering Women Scientists: 20 Years of EPWS and the Road Ahead. Progress, challenges, and future aspirations in European research and science policy.
The 2025 edition of the EPWS Annual Conference marks the 20th anniversary of the European Platform of Women Scientists. To celebrate this important milestone, the conference will finally return to an in-person format, allowing us to reconnect, exchange, and reflect together.
The conference will focus on progress, renewal, and future aspirations in European research and science policy, within a context that presents new challenges to the empowerment of women scientists. EPWS has chosen this topic because of this historical moment in which the core values of gender equity are being challenged. It is crucial to critically reflect whether this backlash might also affect Europe.
