Guidelines for Gender Equality Programmes in Science

The “Guidelines for Gender Equality Programmes in Science” were completed by PRAGES (Practising Gender Equality in Science, European Union) and are based on a complex work of collection and assessment of practices developed in Europe, North America and Australia, resulting in a database of gender equality programmes in science and technology that is available on the Web. The overview will make it easier to capitalize on the theoretical and practical knowledge available on how to promote gender equality in science and technology. The Guidelines will thus be useful for universities, research centres and other stakeholders to implement a new institutional cultural change for a greater a greater inclusiveness of women scientists, and the improvement of the working conditions of women (and men) on their premises.

The volume contains the main findings of the assessment of the good practices aimed at strengthening the presence of women at decision-making levels of scientific and technological research, collected and analyzed in the framework of the PRAGES project.
