Looking at data on women in research and innovation

In this episode we examine gender disparities in research and inno-vation, highlighting challenges women face in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers, including low repre-sentation in patents, leadership roles, and persistent pay gaps across the European Union.4 experts from different domains will discuss with Jonathan Elliott why careers in science and innovation still look so different for wom-en and men in the EU. These are: Daniela Enache, statistician in the field of science and technology, and Marina Perez Julian, statistician and gender statistics coordinator (both at Eurostat); Anne Laure Humbert, professor of gender and statistics and lead researcher on the She Figures Index; and Oriane Gilloz, policy officer in the Gender Sector of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Re-search and Innovation.
