The ATLAS Collaboration consists of more than 5000 members, from over 100 different countries. Regional, age and gender demographics of the collaboration are presented, including the time evolution over the lifetime of the experiment. In particular, the relative fraction of women is discussed, including their share of contributions, recognition and positions of responsibility, including...
Many world-known scientists and engineers like G. Breit, G. Budker, G. Charpak, G. Gamow, M. Goldhaber, A. Ioffe, S. Korolyov, E. Lifshitz, M. Ostrogradsky, S. Timoshenko, V. Veksler were born in Ukraine, while some, like L. Landau and M. Bogolybov, started their career there. Reclaiming their scientific legacy as well as that of many others helps to promote Ukrainian contributions to particle...
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration has recently approved a new Community Agreement (CA), replacing our previous Code of Conduct. The new CA was created in response to a growing awareness that a purely aspirational Code of Conduct was not sufficient to handle all the interpersonal problems that can arise inside a large collaboration. After discussions with members of several other collaborations...
This session will present European Research Council (ERC) funding opportunities, available for both early career researchers and senior research leaders. The ERC operates according to a «bottom-up» approach, allowing researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research. It encourages competition for funding between the most creative and competent researchers of any nationality...
Promoting gender equality in physics, particularly through educational initiatives, is crucial given the low representation of women in the field, as evidenced by enrollment statistics. To address this, we initiated the Physics Project Days (PPD), a four-day workshop tailored for schoolgirls. This program aims to foster interest in physics and establish cross-school networks. Through hands-on...
LHCb is a collaboration of about 1600 members from 98 institutions based in 22 countries, and representing many more nationalities. We aim to work together on experimental high energy physics, in the best and most collaborative conditions. The Early Career, Gender & Diversity (ECGD) office supports this goal, and in particular to work towards gender equality, and support diversity in the...
Diversity and inclusion are vital for effective collaboration within an organisation like ATLAS, and the Early Career Scientists Board (ECSB) is an essential part of ATLAS’s efforts in this area.
The ECSB continuously organises workshops and events to provide a platform for early-career scientists to develop their skills and careers in science more effectively and works to identify and...
The Muon g-2 collaboration consists of approximately 200 members with a variety of backgrounds: different scientific research disciplines, home institutions, countries of origin, and career stages. The scientific mission of the collaboration is to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon with unprecedented precision. To perform such measurements every day, we face complex problems...
The CMS Collaboration is host to thousands of members from around the world, working together on a wide variety of research topics towards a better understanding of the fundamental processes that make up our universe. CMS is formed from over 250 institutes in 58 countries, as such bringing a wealth of diverse perspectives which enhance our science. The CMS Diversity and Inclusion Office has...
The Institute of Physics' flagship gender equality award, Project Juno, was a pivotal initiative for fostering inclusivity within UK & Ireland university physics departments. In 2023, the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh achieved the highest level of recognition – Juno Champion status.
In this presentation, as the Chair of the Juno application activity in...
As an International Organization, publicly funded, it is essential that CERN's personnel reflect the diverse nationality and gender populations of our Member and Associate Member States. As such, we record and report on these dimensions.
In this context, CERN's 25 by '25 initiative is yielding better than expected progress on gender. However, retaining this diversity is the next...
LHC experiments are diverse environments that bring together thousands of members from various countries to achieve common goals. Thus, they offer great opportunity for successful collaboration. However, the culturally diverse nature of these collaborations also presents unique hindrances. Differences in culture can manifest in our communication style. This directly affects how we perceive...
