Steps can be taken to address gender inequities in European science, according to a report released last month by the European Commission-supported genSET project. The report calls for gender diversity in grant-selection panels, better awareness of salary-negotiation tactics, procedures that cater to dual-career couples, and institutional public-relations activities that consistently include women (for example, in promotional campaigns for new jobs). The report also recommends reducing teaching for those with heavy administrative workloads, focusing assessments on quality of research rather than quantity, and developing better ways to encourage women to apply for scientific posts. The €1.03 million (US$1.3 million) genSET project will be completed in 2012.
