EU support to strengthen gender equality in STEM

This factsheet addresses the significant gender disparity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields within the EU. Despite near parity in doctoral graduates when considering all fields of study, women represent only a third of undergraduate students in the STEM disciplines and hold less than 20% of top academic positions in these fields. The publication outlines a comprehensive strategy to enhance women's participation in STEM, including promoting gender-inclusive education and career paths, addressing stereotypes, and fostering institutional change.
