There are only 3 reasons women don’t make it to the top

It’s true in higher education, it’s true in law firms, it’s true in hospitals (it’s even true in monarchies!): women can get far, but they can’t get all the way to the top.

There are only three possible explanations for the lower numbers of women at the top level of these organizations.

How to get more women professors: success on the top of the world!

With focus and commitment, the University of Tromsø has become Norway’s leading university for gender balance. New statistics have arrived and they reveal that 27.4% of our full professors are women.

The virtue of weak leadership

As we try to change the culture of leadership at our university, we are fully engaged with leadership development. Simply articulating the vision is not enough; skills must be developed, too. Our goal is a culture of leadership where the focus is on facilitating — rather than distracting from — great teaching and great research. I think we can do it, and if we succeed, we’ll no longer pine for the good old days of weak leaders.

Scientific publishing: Take a hike!

In Norway, we can freely and legally traverse uncultivated land, even it’s privately owned. Beaches, mountains, woods — all are open to anyone, anytime. Norwegians know about their Right of Access, and they know the responsibilities it implies. And, best of all, they use it!

We need a Scientific Right of Access.
