Programmes Enhancing EU R&I Horizon EuropeRecently 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 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
