Organized by: Fonds de recherche du Québec

The people who lead the organizations that support or oversee scientific activity can have a profound impact on the research produced there. To what extent can women, who are under-represented in many scientific fields and in leadership positions, bring about significant change in the science ecosystem? 

For the first time in history, the three research funds in Québec are lead by women. During this panel, the three scientific directors will discuss their roles and their priorities with other leading women in research and will reflect on ways in which the system could be redesigned to ensure that more women have access to leadership positions in science.

Les personnes à la tête des organisations qui soutiennent ou encadrent l’activité scientifique peuvent avoir une grande influence sur la recherche qui y est produite. Dans quelle mesure les femmes, sous-représentées dans plusieurs domaines de recherche et dans les postes de haute direction, peuvent-elles amener des changements importants dans l’écosystème scientifique ? 

Pour la première fois depuis leur existence, les trois fonds de recherche du Québec sont chacun dirigés par une femme. A l’occasion de ce panel, les trois directrices scientifiques discuteront de leur rôle et de leurs priorités avec d’autres femmes leader en recherche, et réfléchiront aux façons dont le système pourrait être repensé pour que plus de femmes accèdent à des postes de haute direction en science.
