The EU project Baltic Gender brings together eight scientific institutions in five countries around the Baltic Sea to work on reducing gender inequalities in Marine Science and Technology. One of the main aims of the project is to promote gender-balanced career advancement in its partner institutions and in marine science in general. At Kiel University, we are looking specifically at structures and processes that support or hamper gender equality in science.
To this end, the project has initiated a blog series about female marine scientists in a question and answer format. A diverse portfolio of career paths, also from scientists from Kiel University, will be made visible over the next two years, in which the blog will stay active.
