Abstract
The European Union promotes the realization of European projects
through different programs, among which the Erasmus+ program stands out in the
educational field. These projects deal with different topics, including gender and
STEM in the different educational sectors, Higher Education included. In addition,
the projects are cataloged and can be searched and consulted in the Erasmus+ Project
Results Platform that allows filtering and choosing by educational sector, project type,
by specific tokens, as well as selecting those that are labeled as success stories and/or
good practices. Knowing which have been the projects that have been considered the
most outstanding, successful, and/or good practice in the field of gender and STEM
in Higher Education and finding the aspects that characterize them can be a source
of inspiration to deepen in this field of research based on current experiences that
have worked. This is the purpose of this chapter, which shows these outstanding
projects as references in the field of STEM empowerment among women in Higher
Education.
