Report: Women remain underrepresented in scientific organizations

Women account for a growing share of the global scientific workforce (31.1% of researchers worldwide in 2022, according to UNESCO), yet they remain underrepresented in the organizations that shape scientific recognition, leadership, and decision-making. A new global report released today by the International Science Council, the InterAcademy Partnership and the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science, finds that the representation within scientific academies and international scientific unions continues to lag behind the composition of the wider scientific community.
