This report summarises the work and results produced at the 146th European Study Group with Industry/co-creation event with society on the challenge textit{Breaking barriers for women in Science}. The aim of this challenge, proposed by the Cyprus-based non-profit AIPFE Cyprus-Women of Europe, was to quantify the barriers that women face in science so that eventually policy changes can take place in Cyprus and elsewhere. Two distinct but related challenges were considered. The first challenge was to quantify the wage gap between men and women in 28 European countries. In this connection, we analysed Eurostat data and developed a mathematical model quantifying how probable it is for countries to decrease their wage gap. Secondly, we analysed data provided by the University of Cyprus and determined the percentage of women and men in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) departments as they move up the academic ladder, starting from the undergraduate level. Studying the latter challenge is a first step in studying the wage gap in all Cypriot universities and in other universities abroad. This work was supported financially by the EU project SciShops.eu, the EU Mathematics for Industry Network (MI-NET) and several other organisations.
We present a sampling of analyses concerning the gender ratio of plenary speakers during the years 2000--2016 and make comparisons with other conferences, such as the APS April meeting. We hope this will invite discussion of ideas for how to make our
With Cyrano, Voltaire, and Verne, France provided important milestones in the history of early science fiction. However, even if the genre was not very common a few centuries ago, there were numerous additional contributions by French-speaking writer
The Stable Marriage Problem is to find a one-to-one matching for two equally sized sets of agents. Due to its widespread applications in the real world, especially the unique importance to the centralized match maker, a very large number of questions
Women are set back in the labor market after becoming mother. Intuitively, childcare services are able to promote women employment as they may reconciliate the motherhood penalty. However, most known studies concentrated on the effects of childcare s
John Desmond Bernal (1901-1970) was one of the most eminent scientists in molecular biology, and also regarded as the founding father of the Science of Science. His book The Social Function of Science laid the theoretical foundations for the discipli
