3rd EELISA Roundtable for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science

It is well-known that at certain times in history and in certain cultural contexts, stereotypes suggesting that women are more inclined towards humanistic or artistic disciplines have been perpetuated. While it is crucial to recognize that these perceptions do not reflect the abilities, interests, or choices of all women, it is important to be aware that statistics** can sometimes reinforce these preconceptions.
Narratives about both the historic and current role of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) significantly impact our perceptions and understanding of women’s potential involvement in the field. Furthermore, these narratives, especially crucial for younger generations, play a pivotal role in shaping decisions about their engagement in STEM disciplines.
The 3rd EELISA Roundtable for the International Day of Women and Girls in STEM gives the spotlight to individuals and initiatives within the EELISA community who are actively working towards change through the development of fresh narratives. Utilizing diverse formats such as workshops, dissemination actions, conferences, or podcasts, they aim to engage students, academics, and society at large to change the perception of the role of women in science and show a world full of possibilities to future generations. Meet our panelists below!

** According to the latest EELISA data, when looking at the proportion of Ph.D. women graduates per broad field of study (data from 2021), the highest proportion of women is to be found in the fields of Health and welfare (56%) and Arts and humanities (56%) and the lowest in Information and Communication Technologies (21%) and Engineering, manufacturing, and construction (26%). Women represent 33% of EELISA overall academic staff and 29% of EELISA Grade A academicians (grade A = highest level at which research is performed, typically full professors).
