As highlighted by @janrosenow.bsky.social, women remain underrepresented also in energy research leadership. In 2019, 420 female PIs representing 17% of EPSRC projects. For EPSCR grants over £10m, ONLY 6% of applications came from women. Needs to change! Pic & data: www.ukri.org/wp-content/u...

The increased provision of engaging #STEM activities has significantly boosted the number of young women pursuing STEM subjects, with female leavers going into STEM destinations rising from 9% to 35% between 2016 and 2024.
