Women in science in Australia

MEG: As a woman in science passionate about a research career and strongly committed to energising Australian science and innovation, I wanted to contribute to making that happen. While I could find several discipline-specific women in science groups that held regular networking events and workshops, I was keen to actively debate and improve practices and policies that enable women in science to succeed. I wanted to create enduring professional contacts, tap into a diverse array of mentors, cross-fertilise ideas and exchange skills with women leaders in different sectors. It became clear that there was a need for a united voice for women in science – particularly at a national level.
