Our activities

The main task of the Enwise Expert Group was to produce a report, which would set the scene, review the issues and challenges for women in science and in scientific research in the targeted countries; and, building upon the resulting landscape, it would formulate policy recommendations for the different levels of research policy (within research administrations, public and private research bodies, at regional, national and EU level) and for the scientific communities and the scientists themselves, both male and female.

The Enwise Expert Group's road map included three plenary meetings: a kick-off meeting which took place in Brussels on 28-29 October, 2002; an intermediary meeting in Tallinn on 22-23 May, 2003 and a last plenary meeting in Brussels on 25-26 September, 2003. The Enwise final report was delivered to the Commission on 30 January, 2004.

Additional activities were organised, which included the setting up of two sub-groups and the organisation of three workshops, in order to implement the project more efficiently.
