Description
What has to be changed to attract more women researchers to industry and to keep them there? Real progress on such issues requires real dialogue, which is why I am greatly encouraged by the exchange that has taken place between the members of the Women in Science and Technology (WiST) group, whose
findings are presented here. The expert group examined the situation in a number of Europe’s top companies, looking at the private sector experience of inequality, diversity and gender mainstreaming. Such collaborative effort between the public and private sectors gives us a genuine insight into the sometimes unforeseen factors which can make or break our policy decisions.
By participating in this exercise, the companies involved recognise that diversity is a matter that can no longer be ignored. In recent years, there have been a number of studies highlighting a link between gender distribution in a company’s management and its profitability. The WiST group report provides yet further compelling evidence of the need to address the issue of gender within research. This is unavoidable if we are to be able to recruit the numbers of researchers needed to make Europe a true knowledge society. It is
inevitable if research is to reflect the society within which it operates.
