The group recognizes the underrepresentation of women in STEM, both across the field and within the group. The original public site records women as representing 28% of the group, alongside a global figure below 25% at post-PhD level from UNESCO's 2022-2023 Gender Equality report.
Beyond social justice, we recognize the positive role of diversity in fostering original approaches to long-standing scientific problems. We are committed to an egalitarian research environment and to improving the inclusion of women in the group.
