IAP Leads International Efforts to Tackle Sexual Harassment in STEM Academia

The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), in collaboration with the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and with support from the Henry Luce Foundation, is launching a study on assessing and addressing sexual harassment of women in academia. The first phase of the study aims to convene experts around the world to discuss available data on causes, impacts and challenges in addressing sexual harassment of women in academia, and possible approaches to prevent it.

Please visit the project page for more information. We will be reaching out to our membership with opportunities to be involved in the study.

Please express initial interest by reaching out to Sophia Nordt, Research Associate, at snordt@nas.edu.
