http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/science-society/women/wssi/index_en.html


Exactly how many women are there in European research?
Are there more women than men?
How are women distributed across European research?
Is European research affected by a gender bias?
Are women interested in different areas than men? Do they go on to work in
the fields in which they have studied?
Can they expect the same rewards and benefits from a scientific career as
their male counterparts?
Are there barriers to women's productivity within the scientific system?
Do women achieve and produce more than men?
Why are women less likely than men to seek research funding?
How are women scientists regarded by their peers, both male and female?
Who defines the rules of the scientific game?
Although it is still not possible to answer all of these questions, the
these webpages contain information that can help us begin to understand
the answers. You can download the latest indicators available on the
subject of women and science for the 25 EU Member States and the 7
countries associated to the European Union's 5th and 6th Framework
Programmes. If you want to examine these data for your own analysis, you
can also download the raw statistics.
