We also opened our call for contributions  until 15th August, 2020. Details can be found at https://year2020.iscientist.de/call-for-contributions/ and on the attached pdf. This year's conference highlights include inspiring talks by successful female and queer scientists and various exciting networking events. We will have as well a especial focus on race and academia, as well as the impact of COVID19 on gender equality and leadership.  For more details please visit our website https://year2020.iscientist.de/.

The conference aims to increase the visibility of diverse role models in the natural and empirical sciences, to introduce young researchers to a variety of career options, provide them with networking opportunities, and to raise awareness of gender-based biases. The conference is designed and organized by PhD students and young researchers of natural sciences, mathematics and empirical sciences for their peers. 

To raise awareness of unconscious gender-based, detect obstacles and find solutions regarding gender imbalance and combining family life and a career, a dialogue between all genders is needed. Therefore, all genders are welcome to attend!

We are excited to meet you at I, Scientist 2020!

With best wishes,

the I, Scientist 2020 organizing team
