Theme 8: Advancing Science and Inclusive Career Pathways in Sustainability-related Emerging Research and Innovation Fields
This session examines conditions and opportunities for developing careers in sustainability-related fields, many of which are necessarily interdisciplinary and emerging and therefore are not burdened by traditional male dominated research cultures and traditions, and more welcoming to women, as well as integration of gender perspectives into science practice.

Prof Camfield explains the intricacies and pitfalls of doing development research which are important to achieve best research for SDGs, avoiding unwarranted abstractions and creating precision whe
A Sticky Pipeline: Why So Few Women of Science at the Top?
Prof Kim explores how to ‘fix the numbers’ of women in science at the decision making and leadership levels in Korea.
Mobilising the research community of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network to adopt gender perspectives in their research for SDGs
Dorothea Strueber explains the mission of the SDSNs which are networks of knowledge creating organisations around the globe set up to promote research for SDGs.
Expanding career choices of female chemical engineering students through chemical processes contributing to SDGs
Prof Oh reports on the latest statistics for Korean Education. For chemical engineering graduates, the gender difference in employment was 9.9% on average during 2012-16.
Crossing disciplinary boundaries in researcher training to address large-scale, real-world problems
Dr Arthur takes as the focus for improving implementation success of SDGs the need to advance research that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
Engaging men in women’s advancement and empowerment in science endeavours
As a rector of a large university, the impact of COVID-19 on academic work and structures, and the careers of women compared to men, has been Prof Rice’s major priority.
