Mission

GenHET aims at addressing the problem of the low representation of women in the high energy theory community by:

  • Monitoring gender issues in high energy theory.
  • Improving the visibility of women in the research community.
  • Increasing awareness of gender issues within the theory community.
  • Providing networking, support and mentoring for women, particularly early career women.
  • Increasing the representation of women as speakers in conferences, in organizing committees, as editors of leading journals and, more generally, in decision making roles throughout the community.
  • Collaborating with gender experts and other communities, to share expertise and good practice.
