DESCRIPTION:The SNSF\, including the members of the Gender Equality Commis
 sion\, will hold the conference "Gender and Excellence: Challenges in Rese
 arch Funding II" - a necessary follow-up to the first conference of the sa
 me name\, held in October 2014.\nMuch has been done to improve the gender 
 balance in science – but the challenges remain formidable. Men continue 
 to hold a disproportionately high proportion of decision-making positions 
 in science. Women have fewer opportunities to influence the research agend
 a. There are different reasons for this\, as a large number of studies hav
 e shown.Two panels: gender bias and gender perspectives\nThe second intern
 ational conference of the SNSF on Gender and Excellence will focus on a po
 tential gender bias in the perception and evaluation of excellence as well
  as on the inclusion of the gender dimension in specific research areas. T
 he first panel\, on gender bias\, will examine how the perception and eval
 uation of excellence are linked to gender. In this context\, the results o
 f new studies will be presented and discussed. The second panel\, on gende
 r perspectives\, will investigate to what extent gender analysis needs to 
 be integrated into research. The conference language is English.Free acces
