SET-Routes works to increase female representation in Science, Engineering and Technology, with funding from the European Union. CERN is one of three European organisations organizing the project. >>

We asked a few female physicists for their thoughts about why women are under-represented in the sciences, how this problem can be solved, and whether the challenges of pursuing a scientific career are different for women and men. Their responses were as diverse as their backgrounds. Here's what they had to say... >>

We also asked a few male physicists why they thought there were so few women in physics, and how having more women in physics would change the field. >>
