UK_2021_BRA_Women in Science: Development of a Gender Equality Framework for Higher Education, Science and Technology Institutions in Brazil

Descriptions

The British Council programme Women in Science , part of Going Global Partnerships, seeks to increase the presence of women in STEM careers, taking a systemic change approach which also promotes gender and social inclusion within the higher education sector in Brazil. It supports women researchers with trainings and mentorships, promotes networks and stronger links between UK and Brazilian women scientists and science institutions; and influences national policies in Brazil that promote access and diversity in Science, inspired by UK models. This will ultimately contribute to stronger, more inclusive and globally connected tertiary education systems, which support economic and social growth. The programme sits under the Americas Women and Girls in STEM programme.
