Recent data and researches (EC She figures 2013; Royal Society, 2012) show that female presence into scientific and academic careers is still unbalanced and that the leaky pipeline still is an appropriate metaphor of the gender gap in STEM. The workshop objective was to analyze recent data and analysis about women researchers in science institutions, and objective/subjective reasons and causes determining gender gap. By starting from the identification of the main problems, the Esf workshop objective was to sketch possible strategies for a better gender balance in the scientific systems, to suggest policy recommendations for scientific and research institutions and to communicate the outcomes of the meeting to specific stakeholders, such as policy makers, academics, researchers, scientific community members, but also to a wider audience.

Abstract
Recent data and researches (EC She figures 2013; Royal Society, 2012) show that female presence into scientific and academic careers is still unbalanced and that the leaky pipeline still is an appropriate metaphor of the gender gap in STEM. The workshop objective was to analyze recent data and analysis about women researchers in science institutions, and objective/subjective reasons and causes determining gender gap. By starting from the identification of the main problems, the Esf workshop objective was to sketch possible strategies for a better gender balance in the scientific systems, to suggest policy recommendations for scientific and research institutions and to communicate the outcomes of the meeting to specific stakeholders, such as policy makers, academics, researchers, scientific community members, but also to a wider audience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
