This practical guide provides faculty and decision makers in universities with tools that will help them identify and address gender bias. It is written in a simple, accessible way. It is also intentionally brief, selective, and easy to use. Its purpose is mainly pedagogical because raising awareness on these issues is still a very basic needed initiative, particularly in technological institutions.
A Practical Guide to Address Gender Bias in Academia and Research was the third toolkit produced within the context of the COST policy driven network Gender, Science, Technology and Environment, genderSTE. genderSTE was a multistake holder platform involving researchers and decision makers from 40 countries committed to promoting a fairer representation of women and men in scientific and engineering fields.
