Inhalt: "What is the proportion of female and male researchers in Europe and how is this balance evolving over time? In which scientific fields are women better represented? Do the career paths of female and male researchers follow similar patterns? How many senior research positions are held by women in Europe? And is there any age trend that can be observed? Published by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research in 2003, 2006 and 2009, She Figures is an ongoing work to present statistics and indicators an women in science from tertiary education to the job market. Along with the 27 EU Member States, She Figures covers Croatia, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. The cooperation of the Member States, Associated Countries, and colleagues from Eurostat in preparing She Figures is gratefully acknowledged." (publisher's description)

Inhalt: "Women have made important contributions to research and innovation in OECD countries, but their potential remains largely untapped. While women account for more than half of university graduates in several OECD countries, they receive only 30% of tertiary degrees granted in science and engineering fields, and women account for only 25% to 35% of researchers in most OECD countries. The gender gap in science is greatest in Japan, Korea, Austria and Switzerland. The researcher gender gap is smaller in countries such as the Slovak Republic, Greece, Portugal, Spain and New Zealand. When women do conduct research, they tend to be concentrated in fields and industries such as biology, health, agriculture or pharmaceuticals, with low representation in physics, computing and engineering. This publication presents the proceedings of an international workshop held in November 2005 to assess the underlying causes behind the low participation of women in scientific careers, especially at senior levels, and to identify good practice policies to attract, recruit and retain women in scientific careers in public and private research."

Ein europäischer Blick auf die Situation von Frauen in der Wissenschaft

Inhalt: Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Situation von Frauen in der Wissenschaft innerhalb der Europäischen Union. Zunächst wird der aktuelle Wissensstand über die Situation von Frauen in der Wissenschaft im Allgemeinen und in wissenschaftlich-technischen Disziplinen im Besonderen kurz dargestellt. Des weiteren werden die Hintergründe, die zu Ungleichheiten in der Karriereentwicklung zwischen Männern und Frauen führen und damit die Unterrepräsentanz von Wissenschaftlerinnen insbesondere in Führungspositionen erklären, aufgezeigt. Die im zweiten Abschnitt vorgestellte European Platform of Women Scientists EPWS greift bereits bekannte Ursachen der Marginalisierung von Frauen in der Wissenschaft auf und richtet sich mit ihren Angeboten an Wissenschaftlerinnen aus allen Disziplinen. Innerhalb der Europäischen Kommission zeichnet sich in den letzten Jahren jedoch auch eine Tendenz ab, die Situation von Frauen in der Wissenschaft disziplinenspezifisch zu untersuchen. Diese Tendenz in der europäischen Forschungsförderung wird abschließend anhand dreier konkreter Projekte vorgestellt. (ICD2)

Inhalt: "This article presents quantitative results of a study of 139 academic women in the chemical sciences who participated in a professional development program sponsored by the Committee on the Advancement of Women Chemists. The study investigated variables frequently examined in the vocational psychology of women: approaches to achievement, coping strategies, career advancement, the home-work interface, workplace climate, and mentoring. The article presents and discusses results in the context of unique issues faced by women in scientific careers." (author's abstract)

Improving the graduate school experience for women in mathematics : the EDGE program

Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 10 (2004) No. 3, S. 243-254
Inhalt: "For over a decade, Spelman College and Bryn Mawr College have collaborated on initiatives designed to increase the presence of women, with a special focus on women of color, in the upper ranks of mathematical science. The most recent initiative is the EDGE Program (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education), which addresses this challenge by attempting to decrease the loss of talent from U.S. graduate programs. To this end, the program provides structures that help women make successful transitions from undergraduate into graduate mathematics programs, redirect or refocus their ambitions when programs are inappropriate or unsuitable, and, ultimately, enable them to 'accumulate advantages' that will empower them and foster success in their careers. A broader goal of this program is to diversify the mathematics community by creating models for mathematics programs that allow people from all backgrounds and cultures to thrive, advance, and contribute to the profession."
