Subject: Invitation - Institute of Physics summit: Girls in A-level physics, the UK's skills needs and reaching gender equity

Hi all,

Becky has kindly let me hijack this list to invite you to an event the IOP are holding on girls in A-level physics on Thursday 17 May. Please see the information below and the link to register is here<https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1245>.  I hope to see some of you there, and please do get in touch if you would like any more information.

Institute of Physics summit: Girls in A-level physics
Thursday 17 May 11:00 – 13:30 (refreshments from 12:45)
One Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ

The Institute of Physics is delighted to invite you to a summit to explore why the proportion of girls taking physics at A-level in England has remained close to 20% for the last three decades. This will be considered in the context of the UK’s skills needs, the Government’s new industrial strategy and how we can achieve gender equity in society. At the summit, IOP Chief Executive Paul Hardaker will present findings from our new report sponsored by the National Grid which looks at the latest data on girls progressing to physics at A-level.

This summit presents a unique opportunity for a pivotal discussion on the equality of opportunity in physics and STEM, and a reflection on our work and others to date. Speakers will include author Angela Saini, The Royal Institution’s Fran Scott, and representatives from the National Grid and IOP. The panel discussion will be chaired by Valerie Jamieson, Editorial Content Director at New Scientist.

The summit will bring together experts from industry, the education sector and policy makers for a discussion with experts and policymakers on the barriers to inclusivity in physics and STEM. We will also look forward to what work remains to be done to remove the barriers to physics and STEM for the benefit of individuals, the economy and society as a whole. There will be opportunity for Q&A with the speakers, and refreshments will be served after the event.

Please register for the event at this link<https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1245> by Wednesday 9 May.

If you require any further information about the event, please contact the policy team at policy at iop.org<mailto:policy at iop.org>

Best wishes,
Flo
