?????STEM or STREAM? Why we need a broader perspective for women in science careers ???? We’re all familiar with?STEM?(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), but is it enough to promote gender equality in scientific careers??It’s time to shift to a STREAM mindset! ???Why STREAM? The?STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)?approach integrates?research (R)?and?arts (A)?into traditional STEM fields. This creates a?more inclusive, flexible, and creative scientific environment, opening up new opportunities for women and ensuring that innovation benefits from a truly diverse range of perspectives. ???How Does STREAM Address the Challenges Women Face in Science Careers? ??? The Invisible Glass Ceiling & The PhD Drop-off ???While women make up almost?half of STEM PhD students, their representation in senior academic and leadership roles?drops drastically. ???STREAM encourages?multidisciplinary and creative career paths, offering more opportunities for women who struggle within traditional academic structures. ??? Work-Life Balance Challenges ???Research shows that balancing?career and family?is one of the biggest challenges for female PhD students and researchers. ???STREAM provides a more?flexible career trajectory?with diverse interdisciplinary opportunities, helping women find sustainable career paths. ???Breaking Gender Stereotypes in STE(A)M Education ???Women receive?fewer mentorship opportunities, less funding, and less support for career advancement?compared to men. ???The STREAM IT project is working to?empower women and girls?by building?National Inspiration Hubs?and mentorship programs, ensuring they have role models and guidance to navigate their scientific careers. ????How Does This Fit Into the STREAM IT Project? ??The STREAM IT project, where?N?k a Tudományban Egyesület/ Association of Hungarian Women in Science (NATE)?is an active partner, is dedicated to?breaking down barriers for women in STEM?and promoting a more inclusive, interdisciplinary, and supportive scientific ecosystem. ???Establishing National Inspiration Hubs?where women and girls can connect and build professional networks. ???Raising awareness?to challenge gender stereotypes and biases in STE(A)M. ???Providing mentorship and training programs?to support women in advancing their scientific careers. ???Developing innovative educational and research collaborations?to create a more inclusive STE(A)M learning environment. ? ??The future of science should not be limited to STEM—embracing STREAM is the key to a more diverse and equitable scientific world.????? #STREAMIT,? #HorizonEurope, #research, #innovation, #OpenScience, #InvestEUresearch, #streamit, #streamgap, #futureEUSTEM, #futureinnovators, and? #futureSTEMresearchers.?
