Cluster life sciences
In the life and bio sciences, the “leaky pipeline” phenomenon is most pronounced. The fields of study are clearly female-dominated, with seven out of ten master’s degrees awarded to women. The gender ratio is reversed at the professorial level: in 2024, only three out of ten professorships are held by women. Among Tenure Track positions, the share of women has recently increased.
