Could you circulate to departments to alert staff to this Report, and ask if anyone is going to the dissemination event?

Just let Naseem know if there are any attendees.

Thanks

Iain

Tapping all our Talents – RSE Report on Women in STEM
Dissemination event: Friday 18 May 2012, 9.00am
Glasgow Science Centre, 50 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1EA

The majority of women with qualifications in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects do not work in STEM areas.  This is in contrast to men.  The consequence is a serious loss to the economy.  Scotland must address this issue.

On 4 April the Royal Society of Edinburgh launched a Report on: ‘Tapping all our talents. Women in STEM:  a Strategy for Scotland’.  This recommends creating a strategy to increase the proportion of women in the workplace qualified in STEM subjects, and increase the number who rise to senior positions in universities, research institutes, government, business and industry.  Please view the report at the link below.
http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/1027_Report.html

This Report was produced by an expert Working Group, chaired by the distinguished astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell.  Along with Professor Alice Brown, vice-chair of the group Jocelyn will present the recommendations of the Report to a series of dissemination events around Scotland.

The first of these will be at Glasgow Science Centre on Friday 18 May from 9.30 to 12.30 am and you are warmly invited to participate (tea and coffee will be available from 9.00am and a sandwich lunch will be available at the end of the event).

A copy of the programme is attached.

I very much hope you will be able to attend this event, which aims to bring together key people from government, public agencies, industry and the academic sector to discuss how these recommendations can best be taken forward.

If you are able to attend please register through events at royalsoced.org.uk<mailto:events at royalsoced.org.uk> or call 0131 240 5028. If you are unable to attend yourself, but would wish to ask a colleague to attend in your place, this would also be welcome.

Dissemination events will also follow at locations around Scotland including Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Fort William. If you are unable to attend the Glasgow event but would wish to participate in any of these please let me know and we will advise you of the details once the dates have been confirmed.

Best wishes,

Oonagh.
