The proportion of female professors is still low, but the ambition for 2016 was achieved. The proportion of women among adjunct professors increased slightly for the fourth year in a row.

The ambition set for the number of female professors, both permanent and secondary positions, is demanding to achieve, and determined efforts are made in these categories.

The gender perspective

Gender perspectives in research are expected to improve the quality of research in a number of areas. The Research Council of Norway and EU/Horizon 2020 emphasise the gender perspective in their consideration of applications. This represents both major opportunities and challenges for the research communities. NHH is still in the start-up phase of its work on integrating gender perspectives in its work on equality.
