With regard to the total number of female researchers as well as with regard to female researchers within industrial research, Austria is at the inglorious bottom of the league. Is the path to women careers in Austria a jungle that gets them lost more easily than in other countries, so to speak  lost in technology ? What can the female experts do themselves in order to find their career paths nonetheless? And how can public institutions and enterprises act as motors and motivators in this area?
A large number of measures promoting women, just as many studies on this topic and the unanimous agreement that an increase in the share of women is not only advantageous for enterprises, have obviously not led to the desired changes. Successful women in leading positions within research- and technology-oriented enterprises, international benchmarks and European good practice examples will show which measures have to be taken to promote women careers effectively.
