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.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
