Women, science and development: The leading role of OWSD

Attention to the promotion of women scientists in the South is particularly in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The three experiences converge in 2020 in the same event which is the OWSD (Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World) 6th General Assembly and International Conference on Women in Science and Technology in the Developing World to be held at ICTP, Trieste (19–23 October, 2020).
