It is an indisputable fact that there is a gender imbalance within the scientific tissue. The CANTATA action aims at positively contributing to amend this situation. It will therefore make efforts to increase the participation of female researchers within the network, and moreover to involve them in leading roles.
Here you will find a record of the initiatives of the CANTATA action with regard to the Gender Balance and Equality questions, as well as links to websites with informations that concern them (e.g. the March issue of EuroScientist which addresses Gender Balance).
