PSL Women and Science Chair - 2023 Edition

The Women and Science Chair at the Paris Dauphine-PSL University aims to mobilize and develop multidisciplinary approaches to analyze the determinants and impact of the underrepresentation of women in academic and scientific research careers (mathematics, informatics, natural sciences and technology). Every year, 5 to 7 research projects are selected and receive support of up to 10,000 euros.

In 2023, the Women and Science Chair launches its fifth call for research projects aimed at the entire academic community without any restrictions in terms of disciplines or in terms of methodology. We welcome proposals that focus on one or more of the Chair's priority topics, such as examining gaps and gender differences in careers, supply and demand in science education, public policy, and science on the impact of scientific studies carried out without taking into account the dimensions of sex and/or gender. However, the jury will pay special attention to the topics considered priorities for the 2023 call:

• Impact of the lower presence of women on the way science is carried out (fundamental research, applied research, technical innovation): design of scientific studies, quality of research and guidelines taken;
• Gender bias in science and technology (scientific studies and careers), particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), technological innovation and digital technology;
• Gender bias in guidance for scientific disciplines and careers: role of different actors (prescribers, professors, career counselors, HR, managers, etc.), methods to reduce this bias, effectiveness and evaluation of actions and experiences already carried out.

Particular interest will also be given to projects involving researchers from different disciplines and/or involving international analyses and comparisons.

The deadline for submitting applications to this call for research projects is September 25, 2023.
