Summary/Abstract: Why is it important to talk about, and fill in the knowledge gaps of women scholars and scientists? These and other questions were the theme of the project of the Institute of Ethnography of Serbian Academy of Science and Arts under the auspices of UNESCO Participation Program 2018/2019, entitled The Status of Women Scholars and Scientists in the Labour Market and Society in Serbia. The Project consisted of the following programs: a seminar “Women Scholars for women Scholars – Methodologies of Feminist Researches”; “Women Scientists in Society”, a conference with more than 70 participants from Serbia and abroad; exhibition of publications by women scientists and scholars; and a documentary film Women Scientists and Scholars in Society – Significant but Invisible. Both the project, and the public debate raised important questions related to the status and position of women scholars and scientists, such as: gender inequity in research funding; deficient knowledge, heritage and social memory of historic women scholars and scientists; lack of information about the importance of women scholars and scientists in a society; trivialisation in the shaping of identity of women in science; absence of gender sensitive topics; invisibility in the country of origin of scientists and scholars who emigrated (especially female); problems of ageism; problems of feminist activism in academia and so on.
