The 9th Edition of Women in Physics Canada (WIPC 2020) will be held from July 7-10th, 2020 at University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. This professional conference aims to create a space where participants can build networks, explore career paths, and present research, while also promoting gender equity and taking part in conversations about women in physics, mental health, and LGTBQ+ issues. Among other things, this conference will showcase:

  • Scientific presentations from internationally renowned researchers in physics.
  • Workshops on mental health in academia, building inclusive teams, and leadership.
  • Seminars on the current situation for women and underrepresented groups in physics, and strategies to improve it.
  • Discussion panels on career choices and diversity.
  • Networking activities.
  • Student talks and presentations.

Numerous studies demonstrate that diverse and inclusive environments promote performance, creativity, innovation, and success. Despite this, the fields of science and technology continue to suffer from a lack of diversity. The goal of this conference is therefore to support and encourage female and non-binary people in the early stages of their career to persist in this field. To achieve this goal, this conference will offer the opportunity for participants to:

  • Take part in a professional conference and present their own research.
  • Participate in collectively raising awareness about obstacles that gender minorities face in physics.
  • Build a network of contacts on the national scale.
  • Get informed about opportunities for careers in science and industry.
