The GENERA PAM Tool
– Find indicators to specify targets and to monitor change
– Removing barriers to the recruitment and career progression of female researchers
– Recruit more female physicists
– Increase the pool of female physicists
If your institution wants to recruit more female physicists, one strategy could be to try increasing the number of (female) physics students and graduates, i.e. increasing the “pool” of female physicists.
The following indicators can be relevant to monitor the number of (female) physics students and graduates in YOUR institution/department and/or to measure if the share is increasing over years. You can also use the indicators to define targets which share you want to reach.
| Indicator | Value | Description & Use | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| PhD students Master students Bachelor students | Number by sex Proportion (%) by sex | Only relevant if you have students at your organization. Please fill in the number of enrolled students for the past term, semester or year - depending on the data available If data is available, you can also give the number of students for each field of study. Examples for fields of study: Astrophysics, Experimental Physics,… | DFG1), She figures2) |
| Graduates with Bachelor degree (by field of study) | Number by sex Proportion (%) by sex | Only relevant if you have Bachelor students Insert here the number of students who finished with a bachelor degree in your institution in the past year. Examples for fields of study: Astrophysics, Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Mathematics,… Is based on ISCED 6 which refers to Bachelor's or equivalent level (UNESCO 2012 3)) | She figures4) |
| Graduates with Master degree (by field of study) | Number by sex Proportion (%) by sex | Only relevant if you have Master students Insert here the number of students who finished with a Master degree in your institution in the past year. Examples for fields of study: Astrophysics, Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Mathematics,… Is based on ISCED 7 which refers to Master's or equivalent level (UNESCO 2012 5)) | She figures6) |
| Share of PhD- students with scholarship/with contract | Number by sex Proportion (%) by sex | FESTA7) | |
| PhD, doctoral or equivalent students who finished their studies (by field of study) | Number by sex Proportion (%) by sex | Only relevant if you have PhD students Insert here the number of PhDs in your institution who finished their PhD in the past year. Examples for fields of study: Astrophysics, Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Mathematics,… Is based on ISCED 8 which refers to Doctoral or equivalent level (UNESCO 2012 8)) | She figures9) |
