HIS-GenderGap – International Summer School on Gender and Science
Coordinated by Maria Rentetzi (FAU) and Sofia Costa D’Aguiar (EELISA).
According to the 2021 edition of the European Commission’s She Figures report––the main source of pan-European, comparable statistics on the state of gender equality in research and innovation––there has been considerable progress in gender parity with regard to doctoral graduates in STEM subjects. However, there is still a clear gender gap in the majority of EU countries when it comes to professionals in the sciences, engineering, and information/communication technologies. Despite the persistent efforts of individual universities, university alliances, and the gender policies of the EU, gender equality is not yet fulfilled. His-GenderGap, an International Summer School on Gender and Science, aims to place these efforts in a historical context and create a formative space for early career scholars to exchange their academic work in progress.
