MAPPING CONTEXTS

The national environment, with its welfare, social and R&D policies, affects the way young researchers think about the idea of pursuing a career in research. With this in mind, the GARCIA Project aims at analysing the national context in different countries.

The objective is to identify the practices that best support scientific careers in each national context, so that recommendations for academic institutions and for policy-makers can be developed.

The project will focus on employment patterns of women and men in the early stages of the career, aiming at elaborating self‐tailored action plans for equality, that take national, regional and cultural specificities into account.
