The International Science Council (ISC) released the report, “Towards Gender Equality in Scientific Organizations: Assessment and Recommendations,” a comprehensive assessment of gender equality in scientific organizations. It reports the findings of a 2025 global study conducted jointly by the ISC, the InterAcademy Partnership, and the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science.
The analysis draws on institutional data from 136 organizations, survey responses from nearly 600 scientists, and a dozen interviews with representatives of scientific organizations. Together, these sources support a multi-level assessment of women’s representation, participation, leadership, and recognition, combining structural analysis with lived experience.
Building on global online surveys carried out in 2015 and 2020, the study provides a ten-year perspective on progress and persistent gaps. It identifies structural barriers to gender equality and highlights areas where institutional policies and practices have contributed to measurable change.
