Recommendations for scientific institutions to Increase the retention of women in STI careers
Description
The prototype looks to identify barriers women face in STI careers and recognize target institutions in Europe and third countries that can support institutional changes to retain women with STIs.
Rationale
The Prototype proposes recommendations for scientific institutions (universities, RPOs, RFOs…) to increase the percentage of women in STI careers. Currently, only 30% of researchers are women. Institutional change in scientific organizations could help reduce women's dropout rate in STI careers.
Actions to be implemented
1)Training and awareness raising for professors, deans, leadership positions, or team leaders would help make the unseen seen for scientific institutions.
2) Propose effective recommendations
