The State of the Women research network produced the first comprehensive map of the state of women, gender parity and women leadership in the European Union and the United States. This was done by comparatively research gender parity and women leadership in the European Union and the United States, across 10 ten areas which constitute the fabric of society: parliaments, governments, Courts, military, diplomacy, academia, business, religion, media and sports.

This project compares strategies for internationalization in higher education in the US and the EU.
Ever since the 1924 Immigration Act, U.S academic institutions were the prime higher educational destination globally. During the Cold War, the attractiveness of an “American education” became a pivotal instrument in U.S. public diplomacy. However, times have changed. The US is dramatically falling behind in internationalization of higher education. Only 1.4 % of the total student population takes part in study abroad, principally at undergraduate level. And after years of steady growth, international enrollments in US institutions were declining already before COVID. When it comes to the more complex process of internationalization the first U.S.
institution is MIT, ranking #30. Harvard ranks #52; Stanford #56; Princeton #58. The top universities in the ranking are all European and Asian.
In Europe, internationalization has grown out of, and been strongly influenced by, the Erasmus program. It piloted the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and it paved the way for the Bologna Process and the realization of the European Higher Education area. The original Erasmus program was later grouped together with similar initiatives under Socrates and more recently under Erasmus+, which among other things, finances this project.

European Women Leaders was a EU-funded project promoting European women leaders and EU gender policies in the United States.
It analyzed the role of women leaders in the EU, starting from its foundation. We look at how their careers progressed, at the variables that helped or made their professional life difficult, as well as at the policies they pursued while in office, and at the results they obtained. In addition to the research - and related publications - the project supports a number of events with or about European Women Leaders and EU gender policies.
This project was the follow up and the expansion of a previous project focused on women's leadership in International Relations and foreign policy in academia, diplomacy, international organizations, government and international business also funded by the ERASMUS+ program.
The project, hosted by the Institute for Women Policy Research (IWPR), the #1 think tank on women issues, brough together top US institutions across the United States and scholars from Europe.
Our work consists of a body of research to be published in journal articles, op-eds, and a forthcoming book with Brookings Press. The network also organizes conferences and panels.
