Registration is now open for the Gender Summit North America 2017!

From November 6 to 8, 2017, close to 600 advocates of gender equality from science, innovation and development will participate in this event, to be held in Montréal, Canada. WWEST will also be in attendance.

It is a great honour for Canada to welcome the Summit and all of its participants for the first time. Those present will not only have the opportunity to engage in fruitful discussions under the overarching theme of “Embracing pluralism and thriving through diversity – shaping science and innovation” but they will also have the unique opportunity of participating in Canada’s 150th and the city of Montréal’s 375th anniversary celebrations.
