Researcher and woman? Welcome to participate in Soapbox Science!

    21 February 2019

    Soapbox Science is a public outreach event that aims to promote the visibility of women in science, and challenges public and academic perceptions of who a scientist is. We have just launched our call for speakers for our 2019 event, which includes our second event in Sweden, which will be held at Umeå City Centre.

    Now in its 9th year, Soapbox Science has showcased more than 550 top scientists internationally; it is a multi-award winning, and well-cited model for revolutionising diversity in science and widening participation in public engagement of science.

    Soapbox Science is expanding, with more than 30 events in 2019 – that's over 360 women who'll take to the streets to share their passion for science and mission for equality! In the last year's Umeå event we received a lot of interest from the public as well as from press. Our events have hosted many prominent scientists alongside early-career scientists. A typical event attracts 1000s of people – some come back every year to meet new scientists; others are new-comers or just passers–by who happen upon the event.

    Please encourage your female colleagues (from PhD students to Professors) to apply to speak.
