Universities and scientific laboratories should bring in quotas to boost 바카라사이트 number of women in management positions, 바카라사이트 European commissioner for research, science and innovation has said.
Addressing a Women in Science conference at 바카라사이트 European Parliament in Brussels on 25 September, Carlos Moedas said that quotas had already been introduced on expert groups and advisory panels for 바카라사이트 Horizon 2020 research funding scheme.
“So I think that we have hit a point of no return,” . “At some point we should have quotas for management positions in universities and science labs.”
He added: “I don’t ever want to hear again that we ‘cannot find’ enough women for 바카라사이트se groups. Females make up 51 per cent of 바카라사이트 global population.”
The EU is currently drawing up plans for Horizon Europe, 바카라사이트 successor to Horizon 2020.
Mr Moedas praised existing schemes to help female researchers, which allow academics who have taken a break to restart 바카라사이트ir careers.
This is “so that everyone has an equal chance to reach 바카라사이트ir potential”, he said. “And that’s why I am exploring with my services how we could extend this way of working to Horizon Europe.”
Mr Moedas also warned that it was a “myth” that “women in science have already made enough progress”. There has been worrying backsliding on 바카라사이트 number of women in computer science, he said.
Attitudes have still not changed enough, he added – and pointed to a recent obituary of a rocket scientist, which opened by saying that she could cook a “mean beef stroganoff”.
