Widening - How under-represented groups could profit from virtual conferences?
Convener: Melinda Dósa
Wed, 23 Sep, 14:00–16:00 (CEST)

Why is there a geographic imbalance in Earth and space sciences? Why is almost half of Europe under-represented? The general answer has always been: lack of funding. The new virtual world could mean a solution for poorer regions but the talk on Monday (EPSC2020-948) will show that it is not the only problem.
This splinter session is a brainstorming session where we are searching for answers together.
Scientists, engineers, teachers, amateurs, policy makers especially from Eastern Europe are welcome! Europlanet is our society, let's shape it together.
