How can we increase diversity within the field of taxonomy?

There exists a gender gap in research. In TETTRIs, we aim to address this gap within the field of taxonomy.

Our Ethics and Gender lead, Carole Paleco explains what can be done to address gender diversity.


Taxonomy, like many fields of research, experiences an imbalanced gender diversity. As an innovative Horizon Europe project, TETTRIs works to assess and address this imbalance. Carole Paleco of the Royal Belgium Institute of Natural Sciences leads the Ethics and Diversity team under TETTRIs.
