Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Gender inequity in medical academic forums persists despite attempts to ensure better gender equality. In this study, we aimed to assess the proportion of female award and grant winners in both the ESCMID global and IDWeek conferences.

METHODS

Female award and grant winners in infectious diseases conferences (2009-2023) were evaluated. Data were collected from the conferences' program book and websites. Gender for each award or grant recipient was assessed using Genderize.io or, if inconclusive, manually. We summarized proportions of women award/grant winners by society and over time.

RESULTS

Between 2009 and 2023, 39% (34/88) of ESCMID award winners and 57% (858/1504) of grant winners were women; For IDWeek, 32% (39/122) of award winners and 68% (17/25) of grant winners were women. For both societies there was a clear increase in women's representation from 2009 to 2014, with stabilization thereafter.

CONCLUSIONS

Representation of women in conferences has vastly improved over the years, though additional policies and programs are needed to reduce the remaining gender disparities.

摘要

引言

尽管人们试图确保更好的性别平等，但医学学术论坛中的性别不平等现象仍然存在。在本研究中，我们旨在评估欧洲临床微生物学和传染病学会（ESCMID）全球会议和IDWeek会议中女性奖项和资助获得者的比例。

方法

对传染病会议（2009 - 2023年）中的女性奖项和资助获得者进行评估。数据从会议的议程手册和网站收集。使用Genderize.io评估每个奖项或资助获得者的性别，若结果不确定，则手动评估。我们按学会和时间总结了女性奖项/资助获得者的比例。

结果

2009年至2023年期间，ESCMID奖项获得者中有39%（34/88）是女性，资助获得者中有57%（858/1504）是女性；在IDWeek会议中，奖项获得者中有32%（39/122）是女性，资助获得者中有68%（17/25）是女性。对于这两个学会，从2009年到2014年女性代表比例明显增加，此后趋于稳定。
