The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), together with the International Science Council (ISC) and the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES), has launched a global qualitative survey to understand how scientists experience participation in scientific organizations. The survey explores access, roles and leadership pathways, perceived benefits and barriers, organizational culture and inclusion, as well as policies, recognition, and experiences of discrimination. Your insights will help shape recommendations to foster more equitable and inclusive participation.
