We help high schools to promote STEM study fields with data-driven insights

Women are still underrepresented in technological study fields, such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).

High schools play an important role for students’ study choice. Schools, however, often do not have access to systematic data on how many female or male graduates later enroll in a STEM field at university.

This is our starting point: Edumap is a project of ETH Zurich that provides high schools with information about the study choice of their graduates and data-driven insights about how to reduce the gender imbalance in STEM.

Analyze

Schools interested in the analyses can order data from the Federal Statistics Office via Edumap

We then leverage this data to measure the gender gap in STEM per school and analyze what measures in Swiss high schools have increased the share of women in STEM study fields.

Inform

We share the results of this analysis with the participating schools on this website.

Edumap provides schools with a school-specific profile with information on the study choice of their former students. We put a special focus on the share of women in STEM.

Act

Interested schools can implement interventions aimed at promoting STEM together with Edumap and have the interventions evaluated by the project team. For more information, reach out to edumap@kof.ethz.ch.
