Abstract
This is a report of the gender balance activity held on Saturday morning on the occasion of the CANTATA summer school 2017. All of the participants to the school and the lecturers were present. An heterogeneous panel was a prerequisite for the discussion. Among many topics about gender balance we focused in particular on Implicit Bias, firstly introducing a dedicated presentation, then proposing two sets of questions formulated by taking into account the recent literature. In-between we made the implicit Harvard test, the Evolution of Trust test, and, finally, a role game on group diversity. A follow-up of the discussion was done on Monday evening, as requested by the stu- dents themselves, as they wanted to point out more controversial aspects on how gender unbalance/discrimination can be mitigated in STEM careers.
