Re: EARLY REGISTRATION - NOW OPEN - XXV International Conference IBAC 2015 - September 2015 - Murnau, Bavaria, Germany

Dear Dr. Hoiss and others,

thank you very much for your efforts in organising the next IBAC meeting. I hope that the meeting is a great success. 

However, I do find it very unfortunate that in 2015, only 1/5 of the plenary talks will be given by female scientists.

Overall, I would urge IBAC and others to aim for greater gender balance in its meetings, especially when it comes to the high profile plenaries.

See for example, the UK's Athena Swan program for further information.  http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charter-marks/athena-swan/

Or indeed:

Best regards,

Dr. Alan McElligott
