>Appliquées de Lyon (INSA Lyon), the Conference of the Heads of French

>"Empowering Women Engineers in Industrial and Academic Research" is a
>research project funded by the European Commission under FP6 from November
>2005 to December 2007.
>
>The conference is supported by the European Commission, the Regional
>Government of Ile de France and promoted by the French Ministry of Higher
>Education and Research.
>
>The objective of the conference is to gather specialists to exchange on
>gender issues in engineering and technology research careers and bring new
>perspectives on engineering and technology research in itself.
>
>On October 26 and 27, the conference will be structured around five
>plenary sessions devoted to specific themes. Papers and posters will be
>presented in each session.
>
>Scholars who work on the sessions topics are invited to submit abstracts
>or posters to bring other perspectives and/or create a debate. Research
>through case studies, comparative methodology, pluridisciplinary
>approaches, new methodologies is highly appreciated. Young promising
>scholars are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts or posters .
>
>Additionally to these five sessions, we will offer a roundtable to bring
>together men and women working in engineering and technology research,
>students who plan to become researchers, people responsible for research
>policies, researchers on gender and research. Two networking sessions are
>also planned.
>
>Proceedings will be published after the conference; authors of accepted
>papers will be invited to send a full paper.
>
>Conference languages are English and French.

>
>Session 3: Recognition of excellence in engineering and technology
>research (coordinated by Liisa Husu, Helsinki Collegium for Advanced
>Studies, Finland)
>Impact on female and male careers of the gate-keepers and gate-keeping in
>research funding committees, women's and men's success rates in research
>funding, analysis of scientific publishing and publicity, patents,
>experiences of "excellent women" at the top of technological research,
>prizes and awards in technology and engineering.
>
>Session 4: Identification and evaluation of good practice (coordinated by
>Wendy Faulkner, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom and Carme Alemany,
>CEDIS, Barcelona, Spain)
>Macro and micro-level policies and practices in the promotion and support
