D2.3 Report on Gender and Equal Opportunities

In science, gender equity leaves a remaining issue. The UNESCO Institute for Statistics identified that less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women1. In (South-Eastern) Europe, only 4 out of 41 countries achieved gender parity. In 2021/22, around two thirds of medical students in Germany were women.2 Unfortunately, no figures could be found across Europe, but one can assume that the proportion of women among medical students is also higher across Europe than that of men. Yet women are (or seem) still underrepresented in research.3 This deliverable will provide gender-distributed data on the project workforce, on the impact of the working environment and on the career and professional mobility.
