Civil society from the city of Sousse was present, as were members of the We4LEAD project at the University of Sousse.

The ICGS-2024, aims to be a collective for reflection and research around gender issues with their different considerations. In its second edition "Gender, Research and Innovation", this international conference aims to nourish the already existing reflection on gender-related issues in the fields of research and innovation. It has a multi-disciplinary vocation and aims to bring together the various studies relating to gender. It will provide an opportunity for researchers, teachers, professionals and representatives of civil society to engage in fruitful exchanges and benefit from the synergies linked to the decompartmentalization of theoretical, empirical and experimental knowledge around the question of gender.

RESUFF's aim is to draw up a diagnosis of the contribution made by digital technology in this field at the level of its partner establishments. At a time when digital technology has become indispensable, and when the challenges of artificial intelligence are already being debated, RESUFF hopes to contribute to an accurate analysis of the situation for women at university, and to initiate the necessary remedial action by contributing to a better appreciation of digital tools and the possibilities they offer, particularly for female university professionals in their professional emancipation.
