Webinar on the report "Progress Toward Gender Equality in Research & Innovation - 2024 Review"

The global research community is making progress, albeit slowly, towards the full and equal participation of women. This webinar recording presents highlights from a major new data-driven analysis of gender diversity in research. Building on prior work by Elsevier, this analysis draws on Scopus data stretching back more than two decades to assess the representation of women in research and changes over time, in a global context and for 18 countries. Beyond examining men’s and women’s research participation and research footprint, new insights will be presented on gender participation across career stages, in areas such as interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity, open access publication, SDGs, mentorship contribution, and alternative metrics, to paint a fuller picture of the state of gender equity in the global research ecosystem and inform evidence-based policy and interventions.

You will learn about:

The benefits of adopting a longer time frame for academic evaluation and assessments;
The impact of hiring and retaining senior women researchers;
The importance of including societal impact metrics in evaluations or career assessments, and more.
