Shemera workshop at Naples

SHEMERA - SHE Euro-Mediterranean Research Area- is a European project funded under the FP7 which aims to enhance research cooperation on gender and science between the European Union and the Mediterranean Partner countries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia). It is providing the state of the art, data collection and relevant comparative analysis in Mediterranean Partner Countries about gender equality and policies in research careers.

On Friday, 30th May, an EURO-MEDITERRANEAN WORKSHOP ON GENDER AND SCIENCE, organized during the SHEMERA FOURTH PROJECT MEETING, was held in Città della Scienza in Naples. Ofelia Pisanti and Ilenia Picardi participated in the afternoon session on "Policies and measures to promote gender equality in the evolving context of MPCs", where the Mediterranean Partners Countries presented the present situation in their countries and proposed recommendations for the policy action in the labor market and in the field of research.
