Within this global framework and following discussions with Carlos Pereira, IFAC Vice-President for Technical Activities and Mary Doyle Kent, head of the newly created Diversity and Inclusion Committee (Mary has accepted to be on the organizing committee), we decided to make this event a pilot case for addressing diversity issues and in particular the role and opportunities given to women researchers. In addition to the gender aspects in the different committees (IPC, organizing committees, keynote speeches or presentations in sessions), activities will be organized on the theme of the place of gender in research.
