UNICAFE – Survey of the University Career of Female Scientists
at Life Sciences versus Technical Universities
1
November 2006 – 31 October 2008
Purpose of the project
•
We assume that there
is gender inequality in research and development (R&D) in
Engineering and Life Sciences.
•
We assume that there are barriers
for women entering these fields and making successful career.
•
We assume that the problem of
under-representation of women in these fields should be tackled
in every institution in the higher education sector (HES).
Mission
The mission of the UNICAFE project is
to provide new knowledge and information about gendered career
paths and career choices in science and to promote gender equality
in science and HES in Europe.
The project is structured in 5 workpackages
(WP), each WP is managed by a WP leader.
The overall coordination is defined as a specific WP (WP
– PDF-file of specific workpackage):
WP1 – Planning the mapping
exercise. WP leader: partner 7, TUT WP2 – Implementation
of the survey. WP leader: partner 4, SE WP3 –
Analysis of the results. WP leader: partner 2,
BME
– scientific leader WP4 –
Dissemination. WP leader: partner 5, ITU WP5 –
Management. WP leader: partner 1, HSTF
– project co-ordinator
