Aida Monfort Muriach
Title: “Gender equity in the GI/EO sector initiatives: Women in Copernicus
and Women+ in Geospatial”
Abstract: Women+ in Geospatial and Women in Copernicus are two of the many initiatives that want to empower, inspire, and make visible women working in the GIS and EO sectors. These two networks have different resources and activities, such as surveys, mentoring programs, and the speaker's database, which help other women reach higher positions, strong technical jobs, and even speaker roles that are mostly occupied by men. The high answer rate of the surveys, the regular activity in social media and in private groups, and the general interest that these activities entail prove the need for such initiatives.
