From career to impact : How gender shapes science and innovation?

The Women and Science Chair at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL is organising its annual scientific meeting.

The Women and Science Chair of Université Paris Dauphine–PSL will hold its third annual scientific day on the theme From career to impact: How gender shapes science and innovation?

This event aims to examine the multifaceted ways in which gender dynamics shape scientific careers, the production and dissemination of knowledge, and the generation of innovation and impact. Structured around three thematic sessions, the day will bring together scholars from various disciplines to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue on gender and science. 

The meeting will be held on 10 February 2026 at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL 

We welcome you to join us in this vital endeavour, and to engage with the discussions, the debates and the collaborative reflections that will shape more inclusive, innovative and impactful science for the society.
