On September 25th, a conference in Brussels has discussed women´s participation in science and research and the main challenges facing female scientists.
The conference brought together scientists, policy makers and experts to discuss conditions for women in science and the key factors behind the low representation of women in leading positions and within some scientific domains and fields of study.
It is a well-known fact that despite the fact that women represent half of the population, their representation in science, research and innovation lag behind.
On the occasion, Prof. Gülsün Sağlamer, President of Women Rectors Association (EWORA), has been interviewed on her professional experience.
