The objective is to promote gender equality in Europe, by improving the visibility of women accomplished in their fields, from senior postdocs to senior independent scientists.

The database aims to help scientists, universities, research institutions, political institutions, conference organisers and journal editors to identify appropriately qualified women scientists:

• as candidates for professorships and other positions
• to speak at conferences and in seminar programmes
• to participate in advisory groups, on monitoring panels, committees and commissions
• to review manuscripts, to write commissioned reviews and to serve on the editorial boards of journals.

To accomplish this, the database features a search function, so that users can search for any text word that might be useful (e.g. keywords, cities, institutions). In addition, one can sort by research area, position, or country. Please note that “position” refers to the general career stage of the expert, in order to avoid confusion over employment titles across European nations! Senior postdocs should have published at least 1 paper from their postdoctoral work.

If you are an Expert Woman in the Molecular Life Sciences, please apply for membership by registering! Important criteria for your membership are:

1. You are of European nationality and/or working in Europe
2. You have published (1st or last author) a basic research article in an internationally recognized journal within the past 3 years.
