Is gender equality still an issue? Gender (im)balances in STEM

Abstract

In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to support women to study and work in STEM fields. Nevertheless, inequalities remain, and women are clearly underrepresented in STEM. There is still a pervasive issue with the retention and progression of women in academia. How big is this problem actually, how can we promote diversity, equality and inclusion in academia, and how can we counteract unconscious bias?
