Private and academic career of women in science and engineering: my real-life experience
Why still few women at private and academic leadership level
In the private sector, men and women at the leadership level are mainly evaluted
based on their capacity to contribute:
to Innovation and productivity
to induced social and economical impact on the company and / or society
In university, women are mainly judged based on their capacity to participate in
the advancement of scientific knowledge, introducing more bias in the way they
can be evaluated
The higher women move onwards into their career the more pressure and
contraints they have to face.
Often incompatible with the family life demand
Induce organisation and money
