2021 She Figures report on gender in R&I published
Recently the Commission published the 2021 edition of the She Figures report. This tri-annual report presents data on the state of gender equality in research and innovation in Europe.
This years edition shows that while the amount of women graduates has increased over the last couple years, women are still underrepresented in research and innovation. Women only represent one third of researchers (33% in the EU, 35% in Belgium). The data on inventorships, in the EU as well as in Belgium, shows that women hold one inventorship for every 10 inventorships held by men. The under-representation of women in senior academic and decision making positions in the EU also continues to be a significant issue. Furthermore, the report presents data on the integration of a gender dimension in Horizon 2020 projects. EU-wide 1.7% of projects integrated gender, at the country level for Belgium this was 1.3%.
For this year’s edition there are several new elements:
- Data collection has been extended beyond the EU-27 Member States to the G-20 countries where available, to allow for comparison with third countries.
- Seven policy briefs on policy priorities regarding gender equality in R&I have been developed.
- A country fiche has been developed for each EU Member State with the key results in thematic areas. The country fiche for Belgium can be found here.
More information can be found in the She Figures 2021 report or on the interactive webpage.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport
Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
