  11. 6. Phase 1: Self-assessment (II) • The 15 universities provided the data updated to the last course 2018-2019 • Although there are 26 indicators, only those associated with the ten core themes were used in this analysis due to the other indicators are not provided by all the institutions W-STEM 10 Europe (EU) Latin America (LA) NRC OULU POLITO TUD USAL ITCR PUCV ITESM UCR UDG UNINOR TE UTN UTB USM UTPL Female staff 43,75 34,18 35,31 32,01 33,41 21,52 37,53 44,75 27,67 - 26,17 24,92 21,43 19,97 45,45 F. students enrolled 48,90 30,49 28,03 22,75 37,09 32,04 28,45 33,73 38,21 30,16 34,13 31,80 29,12 25,11 21,00 F. applicants 56,50 38,69 30,85 - 42,54 42,80 29,76 45,39 39,92 - 35,47 31,19 34,09 30,51 42,86 F. applicants accepted 48,90 36,78 31,53 - 46,03 34,83 28,70 39,03 41,76 31,70 35,15 33,55 30,96 30,41 6,00 F. applicants enrolled 48,90 35,93 29,89 25,55 41,05 30,97 27,97 36,70 43,44 - 31,94 34,21 30,96 29,55 6,00 F. students graduated 64,03 42,86 30,31 23,74 35,27 37,24 36,32 34,56 37,17 28,56 34,56 32,47 30,94 26,23 30,00
  12. 6. Phase 1: Self-assessment (III) • The aim of the analysis is not to compare the institutions, but to obtain an overview of the situation of each institution and to identify the available sources of data as well as possible gaps in institutional statistics that could be further improved through institutional actions W-STEM 11

  15. 7. Conclusions (I) • The self-analysis not only serves as an input of the gender equality action plans defined by each university, but also as a tool to compare the impact of the action plans • The main conclusion from the early results of the self-assessment in the W-STEM project shows that still work to do since most of the universities show percentages around 30% in the leading indicators analysed • The results of the self-analysis provided enough information to focus the gender equality action plans in each Latin American institution W-STEM 14
  16. 7. Conclusions (II) • To improve the different indicators an integrated effort made by universities, industry and government to develop national policies towards reducing the gender gap • Industry and government have to implement measures such as to afford recognition of the extra social demands for women; guarantee more resources at the workplace, better parental leave conditions and better circumstances for hiring • Those measures will complement the strategies and mechanism implemented by the universities W-STEM 15
