LEAKY PIPELINE

The GARCIA Project aims at mapping the Leaky Pipeline phenomenon in different contexts and institutions, in order to understand whether there are differences between different disciplines (STEM and SSH) and to find out how and why women are more involved.

In order to explore the Leaky Pipeline, PhD holders who have left universities will be interviewed. This step has a pivotal importance for the following phase, which is focused on developing a mentoring programme addressed to researchers with not tenured position.
