The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) is continuing its series of webinars on Wednesday June 28 at 16:00 UTC with a session is entitled “Developing and enacting Codes of Conduct in Professional Unions”.
More and more academic, research, and industrial institutions are enacting codes of conduct. These codes clarify an organization’s mission, values, and principles and can serve as both internal guidelines and external statements of values and commitments. Several international unions have recently developed such codes of conduct, and many more are interested in doing so. This webinar will discuss the motivations, challenges, and successes for codes of conduct within professional unions. Speakers representing four unions who have recently enacted such codes will present their organizations’ experiences followed by open discussion at the end of the session.
The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) was established in 2020 to promote gender equality in science. The committee’s work includes supporting women’s and girls’ equal access to science education and fostering equal opportunity and treatment for women in their careers through events and capacity building. Members of the committee include 18 Category 1 ISC Members.
