Item Propuestas Europeas para Trabajar en la Brecha de Género en STEM: Un Análisis Sistemático(IEEE, 2020-10-01) García-Holgado, A.; Verdugo-Castro, S.; González-González, C. S.; Sánchez-Gómez, M. C.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.There is a critical gender gap in the STEM areas at all levels of education and the labour market. In this context, the European Union has included an increase in female participation in STEM as one of its priorities. It has funded a considerable amount of research projects, so a substantial number of institutions and organizations across Europe has worked on the same objective, but there are not an analysis of the proposals and achievements in all those research projects. This work aims to present an overview of the outputs from European research projects developed during the last five years related to the gender gap in STEMItem Gender gap perceptions of computing students: a case study in two Spanish universities(IEEE, 2020-12-03) García-Holgado, A.; González-González, C. S.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.Reducing the gender gap is one of the main challenges that society is facing. Equality, not only of women but of different gender identities, is one of the European Union's priorities, as well as of a large part of the developed countries. In particular, in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the gender gap is visible both in the academic and professional fields. In higher education, according to the Women in Digital Scoreboard, in Europe, only 17% of ICT specialists are women. This figure is lower in Spain, with only 16%. According to the Ministry of Education in Spain, the percentage of women in computer science studies in 2018-2019 was 12.93%. This study aims to analyze the perception of computing students concerning the gender gap in computer science studies. In particular, the study was carried out in two Spanish universities located in different regions (N=95).
