IRSTGFUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS on science, technology and gender
It seems important to develop a suitable framework and approaches regarding most urgent future research areas on science, technology and gender, including identifying some missing links, data gaps, key issues and critical shortcomings that should be addressed in the near future.

IRSTGFUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS on science,
technology and gender
Examples of some issues: women participation in S&T (&R&D) top decision-
making career entry and exit points redesigning of workplace (childcare on premises) effects of short absences on a career span comparing different types of leave and its impact on
career structures (long service leave is a similar span to maternity leave yet there are no negative connotations with time of absence yet strident objections to maternity leave still exist)

IRSTGFOLLOW-UP
In order to contribute building worldwide Science, Technology and Gender Equity, major social actors, including science and technology institutions, should work together and be mobilized at a global scale.

IRSTGFOLLOW-UP
The road ahead: Thirteen Major Social Actors have been identified to actively participate in the dissemination, debate, fund raising, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Key Issues and Policy Recommendations of IRSTG Report. Each Agenda could encompass some policy recommendations, actions, specific initiatives, “to do” items, etc.

IRSTGFOLLOW-UP
IRSTG dissemination and debate at regional and national levels
IRSTG should evolve and be periodically updated (constant work and improvement) and continue to be the collective product of a wide international institutional collaboration, prepared with the active partnership of specialists from numerous science, technology and gender related institutions worldwide, under the technical coordination of UNESCO's Science Policy and Sustainable Development Division (the Internet six-language version of the Report will be periodically updated).
