This document summarizes a presentation on implementing the Gender Strategy for the Dryland Systems CRP. It discusses:
- The process of developing, implementing, and updating the Gender Strategy through stakeholder participation.
- Key gaps in knowledge about gender roles and inequalities in dryland systems.
- The goal and objectives of the Gender Strategy to promote gender equity.
- Priority actions like mainstreaming gender in research and undertaking strategic cross-Flagship studies.
- Plans for capacity building, management, monitoring and evaluation, and budgeting to support gender integration in the CRP's work.
This document discusses the process of implementing a gender strategy for dryland systems. It begins by outlining the priorities of the Consortium Office, including strengthening the identification of gender research questions and outcomes. It then describes the participatory process used to develop and update the gender strategy, including workshops with stakeholders. The document identifies gaps in current knowledge and practices regarding gender in dryland agriculture research. It outlines the target groups and overall goal of the gender strategy. It also presents initial research questions and a theory of change diagram to guide the work. It concludes by distinguishing between gender-aware and gender-transformative approaches.
CGIAR's Dryland Systems aims to promote gender-equitable and youth-inclusive development in dryland areas. It will use participatory action research involving women and youth to better understand value chains and social norms. This will help design relevant research and identify entry points for innovation adoption. The gender and youth strategy was adopted in 2013 and will mainstream these issues across Dryland Systems' research. Key challenges are expanding capacity for implementation across five regions and ensuring gender and youth tools are used in all activities. Partnerships with organizations working on gender, youth, and dryland issues will help leverage networks, capacities, and uptake of innovations.

This document summarizes evidence from 35 studies on the impacts of 25 social safety net programs in 17 African countries on gender equality and women's empowerment. The studies show that social safety nets have the potential to improve women's wellbeing in domains like economic outcomes, empowerment, psychological wellbeing, and reducing gender-based violence. However, the impacts are not guaranteed and depend on program design features that the existing evidence does little to untangle. Significant gaps remain in understanding what design features drive impacts, measuring key outcomes at the individual level, conducting true gender analyses, and addressing region-specific contexts. Filling these evidence gaps is critical to strengthening social safety nets' contributions to gender equality in Africa.

The scoping study was intended to help CGIAR mainstream gender across the CRPs. The three principal objectives of the study were to:
• Summarize previous recommendations to mainstream gender in the CGIAR system. Analyze the extent to which these recommendations were acted upon and how those efforts fared. Consider what has worked, what has not, and what barriers and enabling factors influenced past performance;
• Reflect on the quality of the gender strategies included in the CRP proposals. Provide guidance on how to effectively mainstream gender into the CRPs. Consider the types of financial support, technical assistance, capacity-building, coordination and supervision that will be required in order to concretize and promote gender analysis and mainstreaming in each CRP; and
• Recommend system-wide actions needed to ensure gender is mainstreamed throughout the CRPs.
The SDVC project aimed to strengthen the dairy value chain in Bangladesh to increase incomes for smallholder households, 50% of which were women. The project found that (1) learning groups with high percentages of women members and female leaders had the highest incomes, (2) households where women owned cattle and made selling decisions had higher incomes, and (3) female livestock workers with training achieved higher income increases than men. The project used tools like focus groups and surveys to measure changes in women's empowerment over time, finding an increase in cattle ownership. Moving forward, the project aims to ensure infrastructure supports women's participation and helps women engage in new roles along the value chain while involving men in empowerment efforts.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:
