What can we do together to further strengthen gender parity in the science system? And why is equality a prerequisite for freedom? On the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8, 2024, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and Wissenschaft im Dialog invite you to a debate on freedom and gender equality in science.
