Women in STEM

The Royal Society of Edinburgh has published a report entitled Tapping all our talents. Women in STEM: a Strategy for Scotland. The report recommends creating a strategy to increase the proportion of women in the workplace qualified in STEM subjects, and to increase the number that rise to senior positions in universities, research institutes, government, business and industry. The report has been produced by an expert Working Group, chaired by the distinguished astrophysicist Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell.

The report explicitly mentions the аĿª½±statement on women in mathematics (p41, para 122 and p42). Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell also referred to the statement as an example of ‘best practice’ in her presentation at the launch event.
