Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists

The Gender Gap in Science project, funded by the International Council for Science (ICSU), invites you to participate in the 2018 Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists.

You will find the survey at http://statisticalresearchcenter.org/global18

The survey is available in seven languages (English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese). This survey is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration of eleven partners, supported by the International Council for Science (ICSU), which aims to better understand the problems mathematical, computing, and natural science academics and practitioners are facing around the world.

 

Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists

 

One of the specific tasks for the project is to collect data across the world to inform policy makers from all countries, especially developing countries, about reducing the gap between men and women in mathematical, computing, and natural sciences.
The data are being collected by the non-profit Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics. Responses to this survey are voluntary, and your individual information will be held in strict confidence. We are aiming for thousands of respondents from every corner of the world!
We will also need your help to find more respondents (men and women), to answer this survey. Please forward this survey to anyone (both men and women) who has studied or worked in mathematics, computing, natural sciences, or the history and philosophy of science and technology.
It is only by hearing from as many people as possible that we can understand the worldwide situation for people in these fields.
