> The objectives of this project need to be tackled on a trans-national 
> (EU) scale as the experience and infrastructure required for this 
> project is diffuse and scattered in academic institutions and research 
> centres over Europe. One important aim of the EU is the gender 
> equality in the European research areas. This project shows a well 
> balanced distribution of female researchers and female Ph.D students. 
> This will guarantee, that in decision making processes neither women
