Eligibility/Qualification–

Projects conducted by senior researchers (who have already obtained a doctorate and published research papers) are eligible, regardless of nationality, place of practice or discipline.

Job/Position Description-

In 2021, the Women and Science Chair launches its third call for research projects, aimed at the entire academic community without any restrictions in terms of disciplines or in terms of methodology (field studies, modeling, empirical studies, experimental approaches, etc.). Every year, 5 to 7 research projects are selected and receive support of up to € 10,000. Funded projects will focus on themes considered as priorities by the Steering Committee of the Chair (see below). These themes relate exclusively to the role and place of women in the exact and natural sciences (life and environmental sciences, physical sciences, formal sciences, engineering), even if the tools and methods of analysis used by the candidate teams can relate to all disciplinary fields. By submitting an application, project leaders undertake, if they are selected, to participate in one or more events of the Chair, to produce a short video on their work and to write a short presentation of the conclusions of their works (in French and English) accessible to a wide audience. Selected projects must mention the support of the Chair. A researcher can only receive one time the
financial support of the Chair.

Priority Themes of the Women & Science Chair

Impact of not taking gender into account in the design of scientific studies,
Impact of the absence or under-representation of women in scientific sectors (STEM) on the quality of research and strategic decisions,
Career trajectories, career and wage gaps intra-company or cross-companies by sector (for example, in medicine, data analysis, artificial intelligence, industry, etc.)
Supply and demand in scientific tracks (SYEM),
Evaluation of public policies or experiments and international benchmarks,
Determinants of the lower representation of women in scientific tracks and careers (STEM):
• Impact of the environment: social representations, parents, teachers, role of men, their views on the place of women in science, opinion of male scientists on gender equality in their profession, family life
• Links between choice of courses/tracks and school performance,
• Self-confidence, risk aversion and decision,
• Identification of rupture/dropout zones.
