Launching a Successful Physics Career: Mentoring, Evaluation, Different Career Paths, Visibility, Developing a Reputation

摘要

Launching a successful career encompasses many issues related to creating appropriate conditions for development, such as providing training and resources for research. Since the First IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics in 2002, some countries have made excellent progress on some issues, but overall results are mixed. Discussions focused on developing SMART (i.e., Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed) recommendations, and on spreading the word about proven successful approaches and practices implemented in some countries and institutions. Recommendations include a call for increased networking at all levels, suggestions for national physical societies and employers, personal development training for women physicists, and advice for individuals.
