Women in Academia Project

Breaking Barriers for Female-Identifying Individuals
in Research

Despite efforts to promote gender equality, significant barriers still hinder the progression and retention of females and female-identifying individuals (FFII) in academia, contributing to the “leaky pipeline.”

As part of Warwick's Enhancing Research Culture programme (funded by Research England), the Women in Academia project will use quantitative and qualitative methods to engage female-identifying individuals and decision-making stakeholders in co-producing actionable recommendations.
