Across our shared region, numbers of female STEM graduates are soaring, exceeding 50% in countries like Syria and Tunisia! Yet, a glass ceiling persists everywhere when it come to leadership—at the EU level, women make up just 26% of higher education institution heads.
This gender gap is a loss for Euro-Mediterranean science and innovation. It’s time to shift the conversation from participation to leadership! 🚀
Join the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the Catalan Development Cooperation Agency next week for a high-level webinar. We will explore how gender-sensitive leadership in academia can break down structural barriers and accelerate broader social change across the Euro-Med.
