Subject: Women in Industrial Research - International conference on 10 
and
11 October 2003 in Berlin


The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, in co-operation 
with
DG Research of the European Commission is organising an international
conference:

"Women in industrial research. Speeding up changes in Europe" in
Berlin, (Dresdner Bank) on 10-11 October 2003.

Please find attached the draft programme for the conference.
All information is also available on the website: www.wir-conference.de
where you can register for the conference electronically.

The following points will be presented and discussed with researchers,
managers, representatives from EU Member States, Associated 
Countries, Third
Countries, universities, research centres, international institutions,
professional organisations and other stakeholders:

* The recommendations of the report of the EU high level expert group
on "Women in industrial research" (WIR) (chaired by Prof. Dr Helga 
Rübsamen
-Waigmann, Bayer AG and Dr Ragnhild Sohlberg, Norsk Hydro, both 
members of
the European Research Advisory Board (EURAB))
* The results of the WIR-study on "Women in industrial research"
(statistical analysis based on R&D and Employment data, publications 
and
case studies on good practices of companies in 11 countries)
* The position paper of CEOs of leading R&D companies and responses 
of
Governments on the recommendations of the WIR report
* Examples of good practice from companies, universities and research
centres from different sectors and countries

The conference is aimed at developing possible concerted actions to 
promote
women in industrial research and to achieve the Lisbon objectives for 
2010.
The existing gender gap in industrial research must be closed in order to
promote scientific excellence, to modernise European research and 
raise the
attractiveness of careers in science in Europe, to make Europe to the 
most
competitive economic area of the world.

Some funding is available to support the participation from the 
Candidate
Countries. If you are interested, please contact Christiane Wehle
(christiane.wehle at dlr.de) from the EU-office of the Federal Ministry for
Education and Research, which is organising the conference.

In order to ensure a balanced participation, the invitation addresses 
both
men and women interested in the modernisation and future 
development of
research in Europe.
