Description - Objectives |

TheSHEMERA The overall objective of SHEMERA is enhancing
research cooperation on gender and science between the
European Union and the Mediterranean countries. Research
cooperation is aimed at better understanding the roots of
gender inequality in science in the area, taking into
account cultural diversities and traditions, and analyse how
the Mediterranean countries are addressing the issue. The
project will collect data and generate state-of-the-art
descriptions and relative comparative analysis on gender and
science in all the Mediterranean countries, focusing on
three key themes: statistics on women science, gender
equality policies, and research on gender inequalities in
science careers. The consortium consists of 17 partners, 6
from member states and associated states, and 11 from the
Mediterranean countries ((Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon,
Libya, Morocco, Palestinian-administered areas, Syrian Arab
Republic, Tunisia). |
