Gender Equity 2017
Following d'Orgeville et al. (2014 SPIE proc. 9148, 91481V "Gender equity issues in astronomy: facts, fiction, and what the adaptive optics community can do to close the gap"), we will publish here (as pointed out in the first bullet of sect. 5.2) the gender statistics for this workshop, recalling that the aim of the cited reference is participation "...up to and if possible beyond the current ~15% level of women participants" (pag.19, shortly before Sect.5).
Computations are based on first name and are considered rather accurate, given that the workshop is limited to Italian speaking participants. Variance is roughly computed using the square root of the value. Figures are expressed in percentage and rounded to the closest unity.
The SOC is composed by 3 females out of 8 members (38+/-22)%.
Registered participants: 11 out of 44 (25+/-7)%
Proposed Talks: 6 out of 25 (24+/-10)%
Actual participants: 11 out of 41 (27+/-8)%
Actual talks: 6 out of 25 (24+/-10)%
For comparison, gender statistics for the 2016 and 2017 ADONI Workshops are reported in the following figure.
