DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Petra Rudolf \nZernike Institute for Advanced Materi
 als \nUniversity of Groningen\, e-mail: p.rudolf@rug.nl \n\nThe EU report 
 on Women in Science identifies different risks which can result in the dro
 p out of women from academic life at different career stages: at the begin
 ning (PhD phase) it is mainly the lack of support from the supervisor\, in
  the postdoc phase the problem of reconciling career and motherhood is mos
 t acute\, then the risk shifts to lack of career expectations and even at 
 the associate/full professor level there remains a risk due to isolation a
 nd exclusion. I shall discuss these issues based on studies from Europe\, 
 the U.S.A. and Japan. Based on the trends which emerge from these studies\
 , I shall also suggest some measures to be taken to ensure that women stay
  in science. From this it will be obvious that all measures which favour w
 omen in science are good for men as well.\n
