We in the OptimESM project are excited to join the RESCUE workshop to showcase the research of women climate scientists and discuss the challenges in this field.
Women researchers play an increasingly prominent role in climate research, although they still remain an under-represented group in this field.
Together with RESCUE and other European projects, we at OptimESM will participate in an online collaboration workshop on Wednesday 1 April 2026, at 14:00–16:30 CEST. This workshop aims to highlight and give visibility to the work of women scientists in European climate research projects that cover topics such as carbon dioxide removal and climate predictions.
The workshop will bring together researchers from four different projects: RESCUE, OptimESM, EERIE, and AI4PEX. This event will give the opportunity to researchers to present their work, exchange knowledge, and identify opportunities for collaboration. Discussions will focus not only on the work presented, but also on the challenges faced by women in the climate research field. A keynote speech will also be given by the STREAM-IT project, which works to initiate change regarding persisting gender inequalities in STEM education, research, and innovation.
The registration is now open, and the full event agenda can be found at RESCUE’s website.
