Abstract

Numerous initiatives have been taken recently aimed at improving the availability and quality of human resources for European R&D. More adequately skilled researchers will be needed in Europe in order to attain the Lisbon goal to increase the investment in research by 2010. The position of women researchers has also been a cause for growing concern in ongoing efforts to safeguard the diversity and reproduction of European knowledge and know-how. Since 1990s, Finland has made systematic investments in researcher training to improve its quality and efficiency. This paper presents one method to identify the gender profile of Finnish researcher training. Combining different methods provides at least a tentative answer to the question as to whether there are any inherent, structural biases in the science community, in science policy or research funding that may prevent or hinder women's entering into and advancing in research careers.
