Switzerland, as well as all other European countries in the EU and beyond, 
faces the particular problem that women are conspicuosly under-represented 
in the upper echelons of academia. Addressing this issue is important to 
prevent the loss of talent and potential for innovation and to guarantee 
fairness, non-discrimination and equal opportunities.
