11. Country Name International Conference on Women in Physics –Poster Presentations Recommendation for Resolutions for IUPAP Require that IUPAP-funded conferences include a session on diversity and inclusion in the physics profession. Organizers are encouraged to include expertise from the social sciences for these sessions, and in particular, consider intersectionality issues. International Conference on Women in Physics –Summary and Resolutions Thursday 20 July 2017

12. Country Name International Conference on Women in Physics –Poster Presentations Recommendation for Actions For Working Group: 1. The planned global survey should include intersectionality. 2. The ICWIP conferences should include social scientists both as plenary speakers, and workshop organizers. 3. Country teams that want to include a social scientist should be allowed to have one extra space in their team above the normal limit. 4. The name of ICWIP should be revisited to discuss including the word Gender. For Team Leaders: 1. In the meetings/workshops that are locally organized on gender in physics, organizers are encouraged to include expertise from the social sciences for these events, and in particular, consider intersectionality issues. 2. Reports of these events back to the IUPAP WG5 are encouraged. International Conference on Women in Physics –Summary and Resolutions Thursday 20 July 2017
