In 2019, the Women and Science Chair launches its first call for research projects. It is aimed at the entire academic community without any restrictions in terms of disciplines or in terms of methodology (field studies, modeling, empirical studies, experimental approaches, etc.). Every year, at least 5 research projects will be selected and will receive support of up to € 10,000.
The funded projects will focus on themes considered as priorities by the Steering Committee of the Chair.
The Steering Committee of the UNESCO Chair Women and Science of the Paris-Dauphine University will select projects focused on the following priority themes:
*Career trajectories, career and wage gaps intra-company or cross-companies by sector (for example, in medicine), etc.
* Supply and demand in scientific tracks,
* Evaluation of public policies or experiments and international benchmarks,
* Impact of not taking gender into account in the design of scientific studies,
* Impact of the absence or under-representation of women in scientific sectors on the quality of research and strategic decisions
* Determinants of the lower representation of women in scientific tracks and careers:
• Impact of the environment (social representations, parents, teachers, men, family life),
• Links between choice of courses/tracks and school performance,
• Self-confidence, risk aversion and decision,
• Identification of rupture/dropout zones.
