Activities of the Loja W-STEM node
(W-STEM Consortium, 2021-01-14) Loja W-STEM node
The 3rd meeting of the W-STEM ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education European Project (Ref. 598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) had scheduled to be held in Guadalajara (Mexico). The COVID-19 pandemic did not allow us to meet face-to-face, and we decided to organize the meeting online on January 12-14, 2021. The Loja W-STEM node presented its activities related to the project in the Guadalajara project meeting.
Addressing the Gender Gap in Computer Science
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-04-19) McKeever, S.; O’Reilly, A.
In the context of the W-STEM ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education European Project (Ref. 598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP), the W-STEM Chile International Conference was held on 19-20 April 2022 in Valparaíso (Chile), hosted by the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, after more than two years working virtually on the global COVID-19 pandemic. The keynote by Susan McKeever and Ayesha O’Reilly, researchers of the TU Dublin, was devoted to address the gender gap in computer science in their institution.

Analysis of the strategies applied at Universidad del Norte to engage women into STEM
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Camacho Díaz, A.; García Ramos, L.; PeñaBaena Niebles, R.; Díaz Vitola, L.
n the last decade, the development of the STEM careers has carried the problematic of the gender gap. With the purpose of creating better strategies and mechanisms for the attraction, access, and orientation of women into the STEM field in Latin America, the W-STEM Project implemented attraction campaigns and dissemination activities where each partner designed strategies. However, those strategies must be analysed to measure their effectiveness and adapted to the new conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this poster, Uninorte presents the strategies implemented in the institution, analysing the three main axes of the action plan, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, aiming to create a better approach. In today’s world, there still is a gender gap in STEM occupations, fuelled by gender stereotypes and extra challenges faced when women enter a male-dominated workspace. According to the World Economic Forum, female students and employees are under-represented in STEM related fields, with less than a third of female students choosing to study higher educations’ courses in subjects like math and engineering. In fact, only around 30% of the world’s researches are women and those working in the STEM field publish less and often receive less pay. This is a worldwide problematic but can be affected by other aspects like the development of the country in matter. In Latin America and the Caribbean, only 5 of the 33 countries analysed have human development index considered as ‘high’, according to UNESCO. Which leads us to pay special attention to the mater in those countries.
Attracting Women to STEM at UCR
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Romero Chacón, R. M.; Marín Raventós, G.; de Lemos Medina, L.; Trejos Zelaya, J.; Vásquez Soto, C.
In Costa Rica, there are currently many initiatives for reducing the gender gap in STEM, however it is necessary to strengthen, systematize and link them so that the desired effect can be achieved. Admission processes at our university are complex and require the participation of different instances. However, we have found a lot of willingness and desire to collaborate with the W-STEM project. It is vitally important to position this issue in the media, for this it is necessary to establish a communication strategy that includes the visibility of the work carried out by scientists and technologists in our country and the region.
Attraction activities of W-STEM program implementing for the Universidad Tecnica del Norte team
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Tobar, L. M.; Proaño, V.; Gámez, B.; Ramirez, C.; Caraguay, J.; Vasquez, C.
Currently there is a great movement to encourage women to choose careers related to the fields of science and technology, since, by different factors historically this gender has had very little representation in these areas of knowledge. In this poster, we present the main results of the activities related to UTN Attraction Campaigns during 2020 within W-STEM project context. It is important to underline that Internet connection was the biggest problem during COVID-19 pandemic to develop the attraction campaigns.
Attraction campaigning of W-STEM program implementing for the Universidad de Guadalajara team
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-16) Retamoza Vega, P. R.; Tores Ramos, S.; Fajardo Robledo, N. S.; Neri Cortés, C.; Rodríguez Betancourtt, V. M.; Pérez Carrillo, L. A.
According to the Global Gender Gap Report, gender parity is crucial in a prosperous society and in a growing economy, and even though this gender parity has been improved in several areas around the world, there is still a gender gap in the educational field, specifically in disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), where globally only 35% of STEM students in higher education are women. To help reduce this gender gap, many organizations and projects, like STEM and Gender Advancement - SAGA, W-STEM, Technovation Girls, among others, have been focused on providing encouragement and role models to women, and to reduce gender stereotypes.
Attraction Campaigns
(W-STEM Consortium, 2020-05-07) Camacho Díaz, A.; Peñabaena, R.; García-Ramos, L.; Pineda Padilla, A.; García-Holgado, A.
The W-STEM ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education European Project (Ref. 598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) had scheduled two technical meetings at the beginning of May 2020, the first one on May 4th-5th in Torino (Italy) and the second one on May 7th-8th in Dublin (Ireland). Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, these meetings were held online, but organized by the corresponding local partners, in the scheduled dates and maintaining the meeting goals. Specifically, the Dublin meeting was centred on the attraction campaigns and the women interviews. This presentation was devoted to the attraction campaigns.
Attraction Campaigns to Increase the Participation of Women in Engineering Programs at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar
(W-STEM Consortium, 2022-07-17) Contreras-Ortiz, S. H.; Ojeda-Caicedo, V. V.; Duncan, E.; Osorio Del Valle, C.; Villa, J. L.
The low participation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, is considered a critical issue in our society. It limits women's career prospects and affects the quality of science and engineering projects. The Faculty of Engineering student population at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolivar is composed of only 29% female. To reduce the gender gap, the W-STEM project team developed several activities in 2020 to attract women to the faculty of Engineering, and this poster presents the most important results of these activities.
