The Hands-on Science (H-Sci) network (Socrates/Comenius Project nº. 110157-CP-1-2003-1-PT-COMENIUS-C3) is promoting an international discussion forum on the access of women to science. 

The forum will bring together scientists, teachers and students, politicians, representatives of women’s rights groups, those who are active in devising national education policies, and delegates from the industrial sector and employers. The forum will be practical in outlook, with a strong emphasis on identifying problems and considering how they should be tackled. Its aim is to develop realistic and far-reaching proposals that will be effective in attracting women into science and increasing the proportion of them who remain active in the subject.
