Empowering Women in Science

The Technion Women in Science Initiative aims at encouraging women to undertake career paths in Israeli STEM academia and related industries. The initiative seeks to encourage women to undertake graduate studies in the engineering and hard science disciplines; it similarly focuses on removing practical and economic roadblocks to a postdoctoral commitment and to improving the conditions of entry-level academic faculty.


Challenge

In Israel - like in the E.U. and the U.S. - glaring disparities between men and women still exist inmany of the STEM disciplines. As of 2015, women account for 38% of all students enrolled in the physical sciences in Israel's institutions of higher learning; they make up 29% of the students in mathematics, statistics and computer science.

Long-Term Impact

The ultimate goal is for more women to assume key positions throughout Israel's academia and leading industries.
