About (English version)

The feminisation of the student population is one of the most striking aspects of the last 30 years. But women are still struggling to progress men in their scientific career. At leadership level, women account for only 18% of full professors and 13% of heads of institutions in the higher education sector. Based on recent scientific findings and research practices, this expert report provides the analysis needed to take action and points to good practices in research institutions which attract and promote women in research and innovation.
