WeSTEMEU will work at interregional level in advancing policy instruments that encourage and facilitate women’s employment in STEM sectors, thus contributing to the effectiveness and inclusiveness of labour market, and access to quality employment.

WeSTEMEU will contribute to ameliorating the gender imbalance and thus making the STEM sector more responsive to the social, economic, and environmental needs of both genders. Concurrently, this will give rise to meeting the demands for jobs growth and innovation for sustainable development in the current knowledge-based economy. At the same time, by facilitating women ́s activeparticipation in the sector, the projects ́ long-term impact will also be evident in terms of the pay-gap, as women enter jobs that are more highly paid than those in traditionally female sectors.
