The Royal Society of Edinburgh has released a report on the situation in Scotland for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects

Women in STEM in Scotland

On 4 April the Royal Society of Edinburgh launched a Report on: ‘Tapping all our talents. Women in STEM:  a Strategy for Scotland’.  This recommends  creating a strategy to increase the proportion of women in the workplace qualified in STEM subjects, and to increase the number who rise to senior positions in universities, research institutes, government, business and industry.

One of the key recommendations is for universities and departments to apply for Athena SWAN awards.
