Gender bias in science lives on, says a publication from an association of European research funders, institutions and universities that aims to improve gender equality in research. Science Europe, which represents more than 40 member organizations in 27 nations and was founded in 2011 in Brussels, has released its Practical Guide to Improving Gender Equality in Research Organisations. It discusses avoiding unconscious bias in peer review, monitoring progress towards gender equality and improving grant-management practices. Organizations should define and carry out measurable objectives for improving gender equality and publish data on their results, the report says. It notes that some member groups have made progress: the Irish Research Council uses gender-blinded assessments in its early-career researcher programmes, for example, and the German Research Foundation (DFG) allows female and male grant holders to reduce their working hours by up to 50% for family reasons. The publication encourages Science Europe members to learn from other members' efforts to tackle bias and boost equality.
