The EPO Observatory on Patents and Technology has published ahead of International Women’s Day a new study on women in STEM today, exposing the slow progress and gaps in inventive activity, deep tech entrepreneurship, patent professions and the career pathways of PhD graduates.

The report provides robust, pan-European evidence to support the EU’s Gender Equality Strategy, the objectives of the European Research Area, and Europe’s ambition to strengthen technological sovereignty under the New European Innovation Agenda.

The study was published only in English.
