国际科学理事会开展2018年全球数学、计算和自然科学工作者调查

由国际科学理事会提供支持，11个学术组织作为合作伙伴共同开展，旨在進一步瞭解世界各地的數學、計算和自然科學學者和從業人員所面臨的問題的调查活动开始了！

本项活动希望更多国家和地区的同行参与此项调查活动，已取得更为全面的报告，反映更为可观与真实的状况。

親愛的同行，

您好!

在此邀請您參加2018年全球數學、計算和自然科學工作者調查。

您可以在 http://statisticalresearchcenter.org/global18 找到本調查。

本調查提供七種語言版本（英語、法語、俄語、西班牙語、阿拉伯語、中文和日語）。您只需在本調查的第一頁選擇您的語言即可。本調查是十一個合作夥伴的一項跨學科合作的計畫，由國際科學理事會(ICSU)提供支援，旨在進一步瞭解世界各地的數學、計算和自然科學學者和從業人員所面臨的問題。合作夥伴包括：

1. 國際數學聯合會 (IMU)

2. 國際純粹與應用化學聯合會 (IUPAC)

3. 國際純粹與應用物理學聯合會 (IUPAP)

4. 國際工業與應用數學理事會 (ICIAM)

5. 國際天文學聯合會 (IAU)

6. 聯合國教育、科學及文化組織 (UNESCO)

7. 國際生物科學聯合會 (IUBS)

8. 科學、創新、技術和工程中的性別 (GenderInSITE)

9. 國際科技史與科技哲學聯合會 (IUHPST)

10. 第三世界婦女科學組織 (OWSD)

11. 美國電腦協會 (ACM)

該項目的具體任務之一是收集世界各地的資料，以使所有國家/地區（尤其是發展中國家/地區）的決策者瞭解如何縮小男性與女性之間在數學、計算和自然科學方面的差距。

資料由非營利性的美國物理學會 (American Institute of Physics) 統計研究中心 (Statistical Research Center) 收集。回答本調查的問題是自願的，您的個人資訊將受到嚴格保密。我們希望能夠收到數千名來自世界各個角落的回覆者的回應！

我們還需要您説明尋找更多問卷作答者（男性和女性）來回答本調查的問題。請將本電子郵件轉發或發送給任何曾學習或者從事數學、計算、自然科學或者科技史與科技哲學方面的研究或工作的人 （無論男性還是女性）。您可以在此

處找到本調查全部七種語言版本的說明函：https://icsugendergapinscience.org/2018-global-survey-of-mathematical-computing-and-naturalscientists/。只有收到盡可能多的人們的回饋，我們才能瞭解世界各地這些領域內人們的狀況。

感謝您對這項重要工作的幫助。

Marie-Francoise Roy (IMU) 和 Mei-Hung Chiu (邱美虹) (IUPAC) 敬上

“科學中的性別差距”專案協調員

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to participate in the 2018 Global Survey of Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Scientists.

You will find the survey at http://statisticalresearchcenter.org/global18 The survey is available in seven languages (English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese). Simply choose your language on the first page of the survey.

The survey is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration of eleven partners, supported by the International Council for Science (ICSU), which aims to better understand the problems mathematical, computing, and natural science academics and practitioners are facing around the world. The partners are:

1. International Mathematical Union (IMU)

2. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)

3. International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)

4. International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM)

5. International Astronomical Union (IAU)

6. United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

7. International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS)

8. Gender in Science, Innovation, Technology and Engineering (GenderInSITE)

9. International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IUHPST)

10. Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD)

11. Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)

One of the specific tasks for the project is to collect data across the world to inform policy makers from all countries, especially developing countries, about reducing the gap between men and women in mathematical, computing, and natural sciences.

The data are being collected by the non-profit Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics. Responses to this survey are voluntary, and your individual information will be held in strict confidence. We are aiming for thousands of respondents from every corner of the world!

We will also need your help to find more respondents (men and women), to answer this survey. Please forward this e-mail to send it to anyone (both men and women) who has studied or worked in mathematics, computing, natural sciences, or the history and philosophy of science and technology. You can find the cover letters in all seven languages of the survey here: https://icsugendergapinscience.org/2018-global-survey-of-mathematical-computing-and-naturalscientists/ It is only by hearing from as many people as possible that we can understand the worldwide situation for people in these fields.

Thank you for your help with this important effort.

Sincerely,

Marie-Francoise Roy (IMU) and Mei-Hung Chiu (IUPAC)

Coordinators of the Gender Gap in Science project
