The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to help shape the first Action Plan for Women in Research, Innovation, and Start-ups. This initiative aims at making the EU the premier destination for women in research and innovation by the end of the decade.

Start-Ups, Research and Innovation Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva (pictured) said: "We want women in research, innovation, and startups to see their future in Europe. That is why we are making Europe the place where their ambition is best supported."

The Action Plan aims to tap into the EU's diverse talent pool to enhance competitiveness and spur innovation. It will confront enduring challenges in gender equality, proposing strategies to enhance working conditions and career advancement for women. This initiative is aligned with the Choose Europe campaign, promoting the continent's exemplary research environment, unparalleled quality of life, and dedication to diversity and inclusion. By 2030, Europe's ambition is to cultivate an environment unrivalled in its appeal to women pursuing careers in research and innovation.

The call is open to contributions from citizens, businesses, policymakers, academics and civil society organisations. It is open until 23 February 2026 on the Have Your Say portal.
