How many women hold senior positions in neutron research in Europe? How many women work with neutrons in Europe and Worldwide?

The 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission strives to promote gender equality in scientific research, by facilitating the participation of women scientists and integrating the gender dimension into research content in all research areas. NMI3, the Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy, as a project supported by the FP7, wants to contribute to this gender initiative.
