More Women in Research Community

The More Women in Research community brings together women researchers from across the Danida network and beyond, creating a space to share experiences, strengthen professional connections, and advocate for gender equality in research and academia.

Born out of a Danida Fellowship Centre´s & MS TCDC´s Science Engagement seminar in 2024, where 50 female researchers across Africa gathered to discuss the underrepresentation of women in research, the network went on to launch a manifesto later that year to tackle the persistent gender imbalance in academia and research at all levels.
