1 Silvina Ponce Dawson * and Karen Hallberg ** * Physics Dept. FCEN University of Buenos Aires ** Centro Atómico Bariloche and Instituto Balseiro Women in Physics in Argentina

2 Students Percentage of female students at undergraduate and graduate levels at the Universities (average over the last 10 years) In total there are 14 Universities with Physics Faculties. In the average 28% of the total amount of graduates are women. ---: no data available

3 PhD students Evolution at the University of Buenos Aires Evolution at the Instituto Balseiro

4 Mainly granted by CONICET (National Research Council for S&T, similar to the French CNRS). The data are for doctoral and postdoctoral positions in 2001. Women/total=(39/151) Scholarships

5 Academic positions Evolution in recent years, at some Universities * *La Plata, Rosario, I. Balseiro, del Centro de Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata %

6 Present distribution of women in academic positions in several Universities %

7 Evolution of research positions in CONICET: Research Positions %

8 Decision making National Agency for S&T National Research Council CONICET *Includes national and foreign researchers working in Argentina or abroad % %

9 Grants and Projects CONICET funded projects National Agency funded projects Average in recent years *includes Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy

10 Others Members of the Argentine Physics Association: Women/total=259/880 Atomic Energy Commission: Women/total=46/184

11 Women in Science in Argentina Age and gender distribution of researchers and PhD students in 1999 (all sciences) (Source: SETCYP)

12 Conclusions The population of women physicists in Argentina is definitely low, especially in high academic, research and decision-making positions. While on average 30% undergraduate and 26% graduate students are female, the percentage in higher positions decreases from 16 to 6 (academic) and from 30 to 7 (research) as the level increases. In addition between 10 and 13% projects in Physics have a female director and only 10 to 14% women are in decision-making positions.

Bolmaro and F. Tamarit
