The Gender Gap 鈥� What is the cause?
Women earn about half the doctorates but comprise only 21% of full STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) professors. There are several reasons, but also ways to overcome those barriers. Win4Science aims to:
- Educate on barriers and solutions through a Seminar series
- Connect trainees with role models through a Mentorship program
- Financially support trainee caregivers through Fundraising
- Highlight scientific work of women professors at 不良研究所 through the Spotlight series
- Create a community of women professors through Win2Lead meetings
- Spread Win4鈥� initiatives through providing a Toolbox
- Survey the needs of the community through Forum round table discussions

Academia, research and science are no exception when it comes to gender inequality. We believe that institutions that are commended for bringing erudition and progress to the world should lead the way in closing the gender gap. For that purpose, both men and women need to acknowledge its existence, and help build an academia that will maximize intellectual capital and bring equal human rights to the workplace. Gender inequality is not just a 鈥渨omen鈥檚 problem鈥�, we need everyone to help fix this, we need change at every level and we all need to listen.
