Jointly organised by the Indo-French Centre for Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), this seminar on ‘Women in Science’ is aiming at highlighting the scientific contributions and achievements of women working in collaborative Indo-French projects. Three years after the seminar held in Bangalore, this is a new opportunity for young women researchers to interact among each other and with experienced researchers. Moreover, gender equality issues will be addressed in three specific panel discussions.
