Barriers
The goal of the project is to look into the barriers encountered by students and early-stage women and men researchers aiming at making research positions more attractive for women and at promoting equal opportunities in research and development. The project will make use of the collected data and analyses of stereotypes observed in scientific disciplines and existing barriers to develop new processes supportive of integrating women in RD.
The research project covers three key areas:
1) establishment of a mentoring system for secondary school female students;
2) analysis of experiences and perceptions of sexual harassment at the university level;
3) analysis of barriers encountered by early-stage women researchers entering the phase of postgraduate studies, with a special focus on mobility.
