IUBS is one of the partners for a global project on "Gender Gap in Science : A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It?"

During the COP 14 (Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity, CBD), the 4^th Science Forum is organised by IUBS, the European Commission with EKLIPSE, IAI and the CBD secretariat. The objective of this Science-Policy dialogue would be to bring together and engage scientists and policy makers in a transparent dialogue, to recommend how to bring the post-2020 process forward. It can open new pathways to accelerate implementation of nature-based solutions for nature, people and the economy across different sectors, and on engaging wider parts of the society. The Science Forum took place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Arab Republic of Egypt, 23-24 November 2018.
