Gender Balance in EU and a Case Report of an EU Funded Project
1 like312 views
The document summarizes statistics from EU reports on gender in research and innovation. It finds that while women represent 40-60% of PhD graduates across EU countries, they remain underrepresented in engineering and computing. There is also a gender imbalance in academic careers, with fewer women achieving full professor roles. The document also describes the CARRE project, an EU-funded project on cardiorenal disease with efforts for gender balance among work package leaders, task leaders, and project participants.
