French research minister highlights social consequences of inequality at science awards
Sylvie Retailleau, France’s research and higher education minister, has said that the under-representation of women in many fields of science remains an important social issue and more must be done to counter it.
Writing in the introduction of the programme for the Irène Joliot-Curie prize for women researchers, Retailleau said that efforts should increase to make scientific careers more attractive to women.
