It is a collective book directed by Ana M. González Ramos (IN3 Senior Researcher) as a result of the project “GENERA: Generación de una economía del conocimiento más inclusiva y competitiva” (FEM 2013-48225-C3-1-R) funded by the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.

Program
Women researchers are located in training and intermediate positions, but they disappear when the positions of greater relevance and leadership arrive. That sticky ground can not be broken until the scientific cultures in the academy are transformed, changing organizations and research trajectories.
Science requires a gender agenda that manages talent in a more efficient and inclusive way for women and men. This book talks about the reasons of renounce, the effect on health of meritocratic pressure, and instability, power relations and sexist cultures, the options to improve their chances of success.
We hope to see you in Barcelona, Madrid or Tenerife!
