\nResults of 2022 gender equality survey in Bordeaux Neurocampus.
\nFrom April to\u00a0June 2022<\/span><\/span>, a questionnaire was submitted to the Bordeaux Neurocampus community. The survey questionnaire is an adaptation of a questionnaire developed by the RESET 5 consortium. We will also discuss the perspective of the main French public institutions for short comparison where available (data from CNRS and Inserm). https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/results-of-2022-gender-equality-survey\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\nPresented paper: Sexism in academia is bad for science and a waste of public funding<\/em> (Boivin, N., T\u00e4uber, S., Beisiegel, U. et al. Nat Rev Mater (2023), DOI: 10.1038\/s41578-023-00624-3<\/a>). Higher education and research institutions are critical to the well-being and success of societies, meaning their financial support is strongly in the public interest. At the same time, value-for-money principles demand that such investment delivers. Unfortunately, these principles are currently violated by one of the biggest sources of public funding inefficiency: sexism.<\/p>\n
