On the occasion of the International Women’s Day on March 8, the Institute of Life Sciences (ILS), Bhubaneswar would organise a State-level conclave of women scientists and technologists in Bhubaneswar.
The conclave, the first of its kind in Odisha, would be participated by women scientists, faculty members and research scholars of various institutions and universities of the State.
The focus of the event is to deliberate the issues and challenges facing the women scientists in science education, scientific research and outreach and, more importantly, for career development and entrepreneurships. The issues would be dealt with in interactive panel discussions in which vice-chancellors of universities, directors of national institutions and eminent policymakers would share their views on engaging women scientists for an effective and productive scientific career.
The conclave would evolve suggestion and recommendations which would be shared with policymakers and different scientific ministries. Interested participants could visit ILS website (www.ils.res.in) for participation in the event.
