📊 EU Stat reports that in 2023, 78.3 million people in the EU (aged 15-74) were employed in science and technology – a 2.9% increase from 2022. When compared to 2013, the data shows a substantial 25% rise over the last decade.   🔬📚Science and technology occupations require a high level of professional or technical knowledge in fields like physical and life sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Of the 78.3 million employed, 52% were women, a percentage consistent since 2021. Women worked predominantly in service activities (57% women vs. 43% men), with Malta being an exception at 48%.   Across the EU regions (NUTS 1 level), the highest shares of women working in science and technology were in: 🇱🇹 Lithuania and 🇱🇻 Latvia (both 63%) 🇩🇪 Sachsen-Anhalt (62%)   The lowest shares were found in: 🇲🇹 Malta (45%) 🇮🇹 North-West and South Italy (both 46%)   Explore the full report to learn more ➡️ https://bit.ly/3XxoDYL   #WomenInSTEM #ScienceAndTechnology #EUStats #GenderEquality #ResearchAndInnovation STI

📢 Did you know about the Women in Digital Scoreboard? This comprehensive tool assesses the inclusion of women in digital jobs, careers, and entrepreneurship across the EU. The 2024 version, updated with Eurostat data, is now available!   The underrepresentation of girls and women in digital isn't just a gender issue – it’s an economic opportunity lost and a barrier to a more inclusive digital world.   The EU's Digital Decade Policy Programme aims to have at least 20 million ICT specialists employed by 2030, with a strong focus on boosting women’s participation. The ‘Women in Digital Scoreboard’ measures progress on closing the digital gender gap, evaluating Member States across three key dimensions: internet use, user skills, and specialist skills & employment, based on 13 indicators.   🔗 Learn more here 👉 https://bit.ly/4dXtOY4   #GenderEquality #DigitalInclusion #WomenInTech #DigitalSkills #DigitalDecade #ICT #Innovation #EU

🌐The European Commission has released its 2024 report on the post-evaluation of Horizon 2020, the EU framework programme for research and innovation. This comprehensive evaluation examines the programme's impact, efficiency, coherence with other initiatives and relevance to societal needs.    While gender equality improved under Horizon 2020, with the share of women in evaluation panels reaching 42% (above the 40% target), there is still work to be done. The share of women in scientific advisory panels and as researchers in projects remains below the 50% target, at 43% and 23%, respectively.   🌍🔬In response, Horizon Europe has been adjusted to integrate the gender dimension across its entire programme. The European Observatory on Gender in STI, born under Horizon 2020, continues to monitor and support these efforts, ensuring that gender equality remains a priority in research and innovation.   🔗 Read the report here : https://bit.ly/4egBNiF Access The European Observatory on Gender in STI here https://bit.ly/3Rt5Iv6 #Horizon2020 #HorizonEurope #GenderEquality #ResearchAndInnovation #WomenInScience #GenderInResearch #InclusiveScience #GenderSTI

📢 Don't miss out on the TARGETED-MPI final project conference on October 15th, titled "Business and Management Schools for Shaping Inclusive and Diverse Workplaces."    🎓🌍 This event will highlight the achievements of this four-year Horizon 2020-funded project, which has been implementing inclusive gender equality actions in five Business and Management Schools across the EU and Lebanon   The conference will also showcase the work of other EU-funded gender equality initiatives, by presenting their key results, and the implementation of Gender Equality Plans, fostering synergies for advancing gender equality efforts.   Register here 👉 https://bit.ly/3zM9qK6

Throughout its duration, the Gender STI project conducted a series of co-design labs, engaging stakeholders in dynamic workshops. Together, we tackled forefront challenges confronting women in STI, crafting innovative solutions in the form of prototypes. Discover one of the prototypes below!👇   📚✨The prototype “Training manual on Inclusiveness in Research: a manual for research personnel and RTOs” aims to guide those working in the STI on how to implement gender and inclusiveness dimensions into research and innovation content.   💡🔍It provides academic knowledge, tools, and practical examples of how to address the lack of inclusiveness that can impact work in different STI fields. One of Gender STI partners, Finnish research institution VTT Finland, has already implemented this manual in their organization. Interested in learning more insights about how they put it into practice?  Find out the story behind the prototype here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhPsTX2r   #GenderEquality #Research #STI #innovation #H2020 #Gendermainstreaming #Unionforequality

🌐💬 Throughout its lifespan, Gender #STI organized a series of co-design labs to enhance the gender perspective integration in STI through international dialogues. Dive into the narrative behind the co-creation and co-design process 👇 🔹The co-design labs incorporate design thinking principles to advance gender equality in STI by integrating gender perspectives into bilateral agreements among EU Member States, Associated Countries, and third countries.   🔹Through a thorough preparation, implementation and execution of formulating policy recommendations, the sessions resulted in the development of prototype solutions addressing gender inequalities within STI dialogues.   🔹This co-creation and co-design process led to the establishment of the Gender STI CoP, which fosters an international community of practitioners eager to promote gender equality in STI dialogues and international cooperation as well as collaborate in effective implementation.   Watch the co-creation process insights here ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IGV0w7 Learn more on Gender STI prototypes here ➡️ https://bit.ly/3URc35T   #genderequality #research #innovation #H2020 #gendermainstreaming
