The elaboration of the EDI Action Plan of the IFT<\/a> has included an analysis and diagnosis phase of the current state of play of our institution. Quantitative data has been collected with a view to detect biases in the implementation of procedures, processes and practices, in particular with regard to gender inequalities and gender bias. We present below the statistics gathered regarding gender balance among IFT personnel, governing boards and IFT activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key observation is that within STEM fields, theoretical physics has a particularly severe gender gap problem, starting at the undergraduate level. In 2017, the proportion of female science students at UAM was 53%, but only 26% in Physics. In our Masters in Theoretical Physics it is even lower, 0% in 2020-21, 25% in 2021-22 and 15% in 2022-23. According to the 2020 report of the MyC CSIC committee, only 23% (26,5%) of the pre-doctoral (post-doctoral) researchers in Physics recruited by CSIC in 2019 were women. The report: “Las f\u00edsicas en cifras: Universidad”, prepared by the group “Women in Physics RSEF”, shows that the situation is particularly worrying in the field of theoretical physics, where women represented only 15% of the total teaching and research staff in this field in Spanish universities during the period 2015-20. The IFT is seriously committed to taking decisive action to address this issue from the earliest stages of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
