Developed by DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission, the She Figures Index is a composite indicator that aims to measure Member States’ progress towards gender equality in research and innovation (R&I), and, where possible, to explore progress over time. The Index is part of the She Figures report.
The Index measures gender inequalities in R&I in six key dimensions:
Each dimension is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores corresponding to more equality. The overall index score is a simple average of the six dimension scores.
Full details of the methodology are provided in the She Figures 2024 Handbook.
