Women in Academia Project

Breaking Barriers for Women in Research

Despite efforts to promote gender equality, significant barriers still hinder the progression and retention of women 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 women and decision-making stakeholders in co-producing actionable recommendations.

Thank you to all those who took part in the survey. The survey is now closed.
