Founded in 2022, Girls in Quantum is an international student-led network working to democratize quantum computing education for girls and young people, with free multilingual learning resources, mentorship and a growing community active in dozens of countries across six continents.

A a community-driven initiative within quantum information science that provides a searchable directory highlighting women and gender-minority scientists working in quantum information science across academia, industry and policy. Hosted by the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk, Poland, with support from the Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi), and open to an international audience.

WG5 is a working group within the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) focused on improving gender diversity and inclusion in physics: surveying global gender issues, and organizing the International Conference on Women in Physics.

A global community across 40+ countries, offering networking, mentoring, and career support through events, a job board, and scholarships, plus recognition through several awards.

SheQuantum was founded in 2020 and is the first eLearning platform focused on inspiring and educating women and girls in quantum computing. Its mission is to provide courses, resources, and expert interviews to empower women and girls to become the next generation of quantum engineers and scientists.

A network of senior, tenured female physics professors working in quantum optics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum many-body physics and quantum information, based mainly across Europe with members also in Japan. W4Q advocates for genuinely effective approaches to gender balance in the field and has published its own Manifesto of Values.

This committee focuses on promoting studies, events and cooperations, conducting research on equal opportunities, implementing national and European directives, raising awareness through information campaigns and more.

A collaborative initiative empowering women in science through talks, discussions and workshops that support their careers at every stage. Bringing together women across generations and disciplines, it builds community and leadership skills.

A professional network working in industry, academia and policy that envisions an inclusive quantum ecosystem. Their aim is to connect and retain underrepresented groups in quantum through support, networking, and community growth.

An inclusive Nordic Network for Diversity in Physics (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden), creating and promoting initiatives to enhance gender balance and bridge the gap on gender equality.

A dedicated forum within the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP) focused on advancing the interests of women in physics and increasing female participation – encouraging girls and women to study physics, supporting careers, and removing barriers to progress.

This group aims to increase the presence of women in physics, highlight their achievements, and advocate for their rights and equal opportunities, sharing resources and raising awareness to inspire future generations.

Established in 2024, this commission promotes a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse physics community across Switzerland, with representation from various regions and career stages.

Originating from an IUPAP initiative, this committee addresses the low number of female scientists in physics and organizes activities and events to foster a more inclusive environment for women.

A member-driven special interest group of the IOP supporting women across industry, teaching, research and academia through networking, career-development workshops and advocacy — including on career breaks, education and short-term contracts. It also administers the Jocelyn Bell Burnell Medal and Prize for early-career women physicists.
