National Policies on Women and Science in Europe: A report about women in science in 30 countries

After years of repeated requests for statistical data on the situation facing women scientists in Europe, this report includes for the first time, 30 national statistical profiles. These are the results of sustained joint efforts on behalf of the Helsinki Group and the European Commission in collecting and validating national sex-disaggregated data on human resources in European public research.   The available data demonstrate unquestionably, that women scientists are indeed underrepresented in the key positions of scientific research in the 30 countries examined.
