Creation of a European Platform of Women Scientists (EPWS) -
The purpose of having the EPWS is to build a structural link between women
scientists and research policy makers. As an umbrella organisation, the
Platform's mission is to represent the concerns, needs, aspirations and
interests of women scientists in all stages of their career paths. From
its headquarters in Brussels the European Platform of Women Scientists
seeks to support the work of a whole range of existing national and
regional networks of women scientists by "networking the networks".
At the same time the platform aims to make women scientists see themselves
as stakeholders and better understand the role they can play in the
research policy debate and how to fully benefit from these
opportunities.
