Solving societal problems by fostering gender equality in the educational, research, and innovation functions of HEIs

About this video

Dr Sarrico explains the results from the OECD study on the conditions of science careers experienced by women and the resulting recommendations for addressing the obstacles created by inequalities within academic structures, which result in the loss of valuable scientific talent from the knowledge system in the time of the greatest societal need for best scientific understanding and solutions to current socio-economic and environmental challenges. The OECD identifies several enabling levers: regulatory, funding, information, organisational to make progress in the future, which require close cooperation between the relevant actors.
