«Prendre en compte la diversité des genres est bon pour la science»
Le fait d’attendre de la part des femmes qu’elles se comportent et agissent telles que leurs collègues masculins, notamment pour satisfaire aux critères d’excellence actuels, les femmes sont nombreuses à quitter le domaine scientifique après leur doctorat ou leur post-doc. Pour colmater cette brèche, il convient d’élargir l’éventail des possibilités de carrière, des modèles de comportement et de travail acceptés.

Reconnaître que le succès comporte des facteurs systémiques et collectifs est une condition sine qua non pour que la réussite des femmes puisse être solide.
