SYDE: Symposium Diversity and Equality in Physics

SYDE 1: Diversity and Equality in Physics

Dienstag, 19. März 2024, 09:30–12:15, PTB HS HvHB

Diversity and equality in physics (and science in general and beyond) refers to the inclusion and fair treatment of individuals from different backgrounds. The increased availability of data recently enabled comparative, quantitative studies of diversity and equality in science. For instance, it has become evident that a diverse and inclusive scientific community can lead to improved research outcomes and innovation, with long-term societal impact. Furthermore, exemplified by the gender dimension, physics shares with many other disciplines that it has been predominantly male, with lack of representation from various underrepresented groups. However, there are many efforts to promote diversity and equality in physics to establish a more inclusive scientific community.

With this symposium, we aim at bringing this important, cross-divisional topic to the center stage of a DPG conference. The goal is to inform the community about latest, data-driven studies and to initiate an informed discussion.
