Promoting women in science and technology

Published:26 June 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

This poster presents our experience in implementing a project for promoting women in science and technology. The low number of women who opt for academic studies in hi-tech areas, and who eventually choose a profession in the field, is a common phenomenon. This phenomenon has been observed in many institutes which offer scientific and engineering study-programs. Table 1 presents the percentage of women in the study programs offered by Holon Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2005.
