The European Platform of Woman Scientists [EPWS] Conference “New Perspectives on Women Scientists Careers in Europe” will be held on 11 June 2014 in Paris, France.

In 2003, the EPWS was created as an international non-profit organisation that represents the needs, concerns, interests, and aspirations of more than 12,000 women scientists in Europe and beyond.

The EPWS brings together networks engaged in promoting women scientists as well as individual women scientists. It promotes the empowerment of women scientists in the diversity of disciplines and at all stages of their careers. The members of the network are involved in policy development and implementation.

The EPWS Paris Conference 2014 is split up two topical sessions: “Gender in the new European Framework Programme Horizon 2020″ and “Up-skilling Women Scientists Careers – European and French perspectives”.

Further information and registration details can be found on the EPWS Paris Conference 2014 website.

Being elected in a new position is always a nice and enjoyable recognition, also for a scientist. Once the stress and uncertainty of the election are over, the candidate can concentrate on his new duty and prepare to face the coming challenges. The difference here with politicians is that he doesn’t need to manoeuvre during his term to please his electors or own party with empty promises motivated by his wish for re-election.
This being said, I feel really honoured and happy to serve the cause of the EPS in the coming years, first as President-elect and later as President. I would like to take this opportunity to thank...
