GS12 Goals
This is the first Gender Summit on Science, Technology and Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the 12th worldwide. It is organized by the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research, CONICYT.
It will be held in Santiago, Chile on Wednesday, December 6 and Thursday, December 7, 2017 at the UN’s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), with an expected participation of more than 500 attendees.
This international summit will be key for bringing together academic, political and business representatives to discuss the positive impacts of gender equity on science, technology and innovation for the region.
During the summit, there will be lectures, plenary panels and parallel round-tables where we will have the opportunity to share with important national and foreign speakers involved in these topics.
We will soon receive online registrations (at no cost), which will be informed through the seminar’s website and the official social networks. We’ll be expecting you!
