Gender in research and innovation: She figures 2021 report is published

The European Commission has published the latest She Figures report 2021, a tri-annual study that monitors gender equality in research and innovation. The latest edition of the report shows that the number of female students and graduates at bachelor, master and doctoral levels has grown steadily over the last years.

She Figures were published in 2003 for the first time. The report monitors the careers of researchers, starting from the time they are studying and graduate, looking at their participation in the labour market as researchers and their working conditions, their career advancement and participation in decision-making positions and R&I output (including inventorship). Statistical correspondents from EU Member States and Associated Countries contribute to the data collection.
