- Description
- The aim of this report is to provide a complete research project on the issue of women in industrial research, as well as on the obstacles they might encounter as their careers develop and how they can overcome them. The fist part of the report 'Quantitative analysis' presents the results of a statistical analysis of the situation of women industrial scientists and engineers across Europe, and in comparison with non-European countries. Recommendations for the improvement of existing data sources and the development of complementary ones have been done. Also proposals for building gendersensitive indicators and benchmarking women's participation in industrial research have been put forward. The second part 'Qualitative analysis' identifies and describes good practices to promote increased female participation and improved career development in private sector research. Herefore, 29 case studies have been carried out in 11 EU-countries, and the different kinds of good practices have been analysed.
