What is Homeward Bound ?
Homeward Bound is a groundbreaking leadership initiative for women with a STEMM* background. It aims to increase the leadership capability of women, and enhance their influence and impact on the decision making that shapes our planet.
Vision: Over 10 years, building a global collaboration of 1000 women with STEMM backgrounds, to demonstrate a new model of leadership creating better outcomes for the planet.
*STEMM= Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine

Why women ?
Too often the voice missing from the table is that of women. We hold that women will be vital to leading solutions that will help solve some of our most intractable problems. Homeward Bound: Supporting women in STEMM to significantly improve their courage, shared vision and strategic capability will enhance their opportunity to take up leadership roles globally, and to proactively contribute to a sustainable world both individually and collectively. |
Why scientists ?
Quite simply, because these fields (STEMM) touch every aspect of our present and forecast future. But researchers are often put outside decision making. Thus science has a limited impact on concrete actions. Homeward Bound: Promoting individual and collective skills to inform politics about the key solutions regarding our common goods. |

What have I done so far ?
- 10 conferences for students to talk about women in STEM (from 9 to 25 years old) - Interviewed by "Demain Vendée" to talk about women in leadership with two other women: Rim Ridane and Emmanuelle Caillé - Birding walk in the marshes to talk about my research - Successful application at the call for project "Génération Climat" - We thus organized webconferences of women in STEM called "Conférences Gaïa" - available on youtube ! - Interview of female scientists to share their passion and career journey in ecological research - Created a dynamic Diversity committee in my institution ! - Photographic exposition about women in science - Organize meetings with children to talk about bird migration and give examples of women in STEMM - "MandatClimatBiodiversité" : training new members of parliament on the challenges of biodiversity loss More to come ! |
