Visibility of Female Experts

Working Group 4: Visibility of Female Experts

The acknowledgement of women as highly skilled professionals and experts, especially in traditionally male-dominated sectors, heavily depends on how they are being presented across all forms of media as well as at relevant public and professional events.

Despite a number of initiatives and best practices designed to address the current underrepresentation of female experts, the issue is still far from being resolved.

The current WIA-Europe White Paper aims to identify the main roadblocks that currently exist for women as well as media channels and conference organisers.

A working group conducted a large scale survey and detailed interviews with over 200 actors within aerospace reaching professionals, conference organisers, media experts and companies with the aim to see how we could break down barriers facing women, address the role of media and conference organisations, and review European policy to support a culture of increased visibility for women as subject matter experts in aerospace.
