Scope and content
This series contains records created by Monique Frize, Claire Deschênes and Ruby Heap and which relate to the data gathered for each ICWES-I to ICWES-XII conference. A note left by the creators about its creation, content and use reads as follows:
For the chapters of the book "Women’s Contribution to Science and Technology Through ICWES Conferences (Springer, December 2003) covering ICWES I to ICWES XII, the scientific content has been examined in more depth, and treated separately for S&T and for gender. The classification into those two categories has been performed according to the contribution content, and not the background or discipline of the authors. Therefore, for example, a paper presenting an analysis to explain the low participation of women in STEM is to be found in the gender category, while a paper investigating the influence that new substances introduced into industry and agriculture have on women’s health will be in the S&T section.
To obtain quantitative information, Excel files were prepared for each ICWES-I to ICWES-XII conferences, listing information taken from the programs and proceedings (the number and titles of the papers, presentations, activities for each ICWES sessions, the number of sub-topics by session (if any), the number of women, men, and unknown sex of the speakers, the ICWES region of the speakers and the pages where abstracts or papers can be found in the proceedings). The ICWES regions refers to 11 current regions of the world defined after INWES was created. These regions are:
1A. USA
1B. Canada
2. Latin America (incl. South and Central America, Caribbean, Mexico)
3. Western Europe (incl. Turkey)
4. Eastern Europe (incl. Russia)
5. French-speaking Africa
6. English-speaking Africa
7. Middle East and North Africa (incl. Israel)
8. Central Asia (incl. India, Pakistan, Nepal)
9. Southeast Asia
10. Far East Asia (includes Thailand)
11. United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand
H. Host country (replaces the region code when applicable)

- Table 1.2 providing a summary of the quantitative content of the proceedings from ICWES-I to ICWES-XII (number of participants from the host country and number of non-local participants, number of participants from each of the 11 ICWES regions and the number of countries represented at each ICWES).
- Tables summarizing each conference for gender and S&T content in charters 2 to 13 (ICWES-I to ICWES XII). This information includes sessions’ name, number of papers per session expected according to the schedule of the conference, and the number of papers and abstracts that figure in the Proceedings.
- A table in Appendix 3 of the published book, summarizes quantitative information for the first 12 conferences: years, location, number of participants from the host country and number of non-local participants, number of participants from each eleven current regions and the number of countries represented at each ICWES.
