Objectives

The objectives of the Nordic Network of Women in Physics is to significantly strengthen the recruitment, education and career possibilities of Nordic female students and young researchers. In order to achieve this, partial goals of the network include:

• To train, encourage and retain female Ph.D. students and post.docs.
• To allow students and young researches to find female advisors, mentors and role models in their field and to allow female physicists at all career stages to exchange information and experiences and to establish contacts to other female physicists in the Nordic countries.
• To increase the visibility of nordic female physicists and to maintain an open database of women researchers in physics in the Nordic countries.
• To identify gender barriers in the career paths of women in physics and to work toward removing such barriers.
• To facilitate international networking by developing contacts with women in physics organizations around the world.
