A new constant in ALADIN : XXsurXY

While elaborating the EU proposal (ALATNET), we discovered a new constant in the ALADIN project. It is about proportion of men and women in the project. One sentence among some hundred pages in the "Guide for Proposers" indicated that this proportion was a criterion for the selection and hence we considered it was interesting to go further and study the problem with the tools of our data base.

It was opportunity to study this aspect of the ALADIN project. All statistics have been drawn up. Main conclusions are :

• the results are very similar if you consider "Total work" or only "Toulouse work";
• the results are quite constant in time (since the beginning of the project);
• there is a great variability within the ALADIN countries : one is only populated with men !... , another one with women !..

• men and women are equally hard workers !... the proportion of women and the proportion of the work realized by women are equal : 28% of ALADINers are women and they contribute to 28% of the effort (in people.month). As a comparison, within Météo-France/CNRM technical people, women are 25% but only 20% in GMAP (did you notice that women "stagiaires" are always welcome in GMAP ?).
