This conference tackles an objective shared by both the Danish and French ministries of Higher Education and Research, as well as all the research institutions of both countries, which is to achieve a better gender balance and to fight against discrimination in the research communities.

Tine Jess, member of the Task Force for More Women in Research in Denmark, and other significant representatives from Danish research institutions will present their vision of what can be done to reach a better gender balance in research. They will also comment the implemented strategies in this regard, as well as some French participants who will express their vision on the matter.
