How are we doing? Learning from others - demographics and practice sharing
The ATLAS Collaboration consists of more than 5000 members, from over 100 different countries. Regional, age and gender demographics of the collaboration are presented, including the time evolution over the lifetime of the experiment. In particular, the relative fraction of women is discussed, including their share of contributions, recognition and positions of responsibility, including...
Established in 2019, the ALICE Diversity Office monitors issues of diversity, promotes initiatives regarding diversity and inclusion within the ALICE Collaboration, and serves as a direct liaison with the diversity offices at CERN and the other experiments at the LHC. In addition, the ALICE Diversity Office collects yearly statistics used to investigate the time evolution of membership trends...
LHCb is a collaboration of about 1500 members from 87 institutions based in 19 countries, and representing many more nationalities. We aim to work together on experimental high energy physics, and to do so in the best and most collaborative conditions. The Early Career, Gender & Diversity (ECGD) office exists to support this goal, and in particular has a mandate to work towards gender...
INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them. INFN employs 2000 staff (scientists, technicians and people in administration) and about 4000 associate people.
In the last 20 years, the gender parity has been monitored and affirmative actions have been proposed. The...
The CMS collaboration, one of the largest collaborations in high-energy physics, formed a Diversity Office (DO) under a mandate from its collaboration board in 2017. We present here the efforts of the CMS DO in fulfilling its mandate to improve diversity and inclusion (D&I) within the CMS Collaboration and foster an environment where all CMS members can thrive. These efforts include...
How to foster gender equity in academia and in the research? Which gender equity practices could be able to counter the many gender inequality ones? Many measures are focused on the women, trying to increase the number of women at all career levels. In this framework, known as “fix the women”, the measures work from the equal opportunities side and help women to adjust to the male world. Among...
Where do we want to go? Learning from research, recommendations, experience
The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider 10 years ago was a watershed moment in the evolution and precision of the Standard Model. ICHEP, and the high energy physics global community, celebrate this anniversary by charting the measurable impact on HEP research and related experiments over the past decade.
2022 also marks 10 years since CERN established its first...
GENERA Network originated from the EU-funded GENERA project, which was supporting physics research organisations in their efforts to enhance gender equality in the time from September 2015 until August 2018. The network could be continuously expanded to currently 41 organisations from all over Europe. GENERA Network is based on a Memorandum of Understanding and invites interested institutions...
The Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise, “Snowmass”, is a prioritization process for scientific goals in the 5–10-year time scale organized by the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society. The topics of the extended forum are organized into 10 Frontiers, and each Frontier is further divided into Topical Groups. Community members organize within and across the...
High energy physics is an international endeavor. Yet in Africa, research, education, and training programs in high energy physics (HEP) are limited in both human capacity and expertise, as well as in resource mobilization. Africa will participate meaningfully in HEP programs when the environment within the international HEP community is conducive, welcoming, and supportive.
Diversifying the...
High Energy Physics is strongly aligned with cleverness and masculinity. ‘Not surprisingly, physics does an extremely good job at keeping people out’ (Anna Danielsson 2022). Therefore, inviting women and minorities is not enough. We need to understand and overcome the gendered, classed and raced politics of knowledge-producing processes in STEM. In this talk research results of mainly...
In recent decades much attention has been given to women’s underrepresentation in science and engineering (SE), particularly in positions of leadership.
In this talk dominant theories about women's underrepresentation in SE are reviewed, in light of evidence. New theories are then presented together with examples of new research questions and findings. The talk concludes with a discussion...
Research institutions and organisations are paying increasing attention to diversity and inclusion.
In the talk we will discuss why diversity and inclusion targets should not be detached from actions to increase equal opportunities for all.
