Activities
The project, the three tasks, and the survey were introduced. The workshop was unusual in that
more than half of the time was spent at work in breakaway sessions. There were 6 consecutive breakaway
sessions, 5 on the survey, and one on task 3 (Database of good practice). The groups were small – about 7
people – and worked very well together on specific tasks, giving short report backs, with details provided on
paper and in presentations.
As Survey leader, Rachel Ivie led the Joint Global Survey working groups. Danielle Gondard-Cozette,
introduced task 3, which is in early stages.
Of the 11 partners, 8 made very short presentations on their Union or organization and its involvement in the
project. The participants were, in many cases, very senior scientists, and the quality of the interaction
was very high.
Output
All breakaway groups recorded both detailed comments, and short presentations. These have been handed to
Rachel Ivie and Danielle Gondard-Cozette as the primary facilitators. Presentations, questionnaire and reports
will be made available on the wiki.
Additional activities
A few of the participants were invited to interact with AIMS women students at a mentoring lunch.
