“EELISA Alliance is rooted on the shared values of democracy, diversity, inclusion and gender equality as the conditio sine quanon to create a European society based on cooperation and sustainability”

EELISA Statement on Gender Equality, April 2022)
EELISA is fully committed to setting new standards for inclusivity and making gender equity and diversity in the fields of engineering and science one of its fundamental pillars. By integrating these values into every aspect of our academic and professional spheres, EELISA aims to build a diverse and supportive community where all members can achieve their full potential.
Only 33% of Europe’s researchers are women (all fields), and they remain under-represented at the highest level of academia, with only 26% of full professorship positions held by women (‘She figures’ report).
While at bachelor and master levels, women outnumber men as students and graduates, and while there is almost gender balance at the doctoral level, there are large gender differences across fields of study – in the STEM fields, women still represent slightly less than a third of students at bachelor and master levels, and 37% of doctoral candidates.
Such commitment is also reflected in the EELISA Statement on Gender Equality signed by the Rectors, Presidents and Directors of all EELISA institutions.

The EELISA Gender and Diversity Workgroup focuses on producing tangible and measurable outcomes related to gender, diversity, and inclusiveness. By conducting in-depth analyses and sharing best practices, their collective efforts lead to the development of EELISA policies, the organization of special activities and programs, among other initiatives.

Who are the leaders of the scientifc community? Have women been represented in the field of science? Is this path worth walking? These are a few of the questions that can be answered in this online course prepared by PSL, and open to all.
