Where are the Women in Science?

Needless to say that gender balance in science and technology is a difficult one to establish. Women are underrepresented in science and technology at university, and are not pursuing careers in these domains.

The prospects offered to women by the industry and academic world apparently are not appealing. Too few women consider building their career in science and technology, even though these have a huge impact on our daily lives. Resulting in predominantly male corporate environments, with a predominantly masculine top down decision making style, which sort of creates a vicious circle effect when it comes to developing a better gender balance.

Time to act and pimp up these crucial domains in order to get women on board.
On March 4 2011 a free seminar is organized by Jump and ECWT.

Interesting set up, and if you are looking for female role models in science and technology you will be impressed with the people playing a role in this seminar!
