Status of women in physics in Spain

Abstract

2 pages, 3 tables.-- En: Women in Physics, 2nd lUPAP International Conference, AIP Conference Proceedings 795, New York.-- PACS: 01.78+p, 01.85.+fWe present activities of the group, Spanish Women in Physics, during the past three years. We describe measures adopted by the Spanish government to attain gender equality and discuss the status of women in the scientific field. Finally, we present statistical data updated from the last IUPAP Women in Physics Conference in 2005. The percentage of women at various staff levels at universities and at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) remains constant (approximately 32%). At CSIC, however, an increase in the number of available posts has led to an increase in the number of women in top positions. The most remarkable finding from Spanish universities is that 50% of women were hired at the new professorial category of “PhD contract.”Peer reviewe
