Science Policy UK: government response on women in scientific careers inquiry

The UK government has responded to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's inquiry on Women in Scientific Careers.  The government response highlights various initiatives - the recent Call to Action; the Equality Challenge Unit; Athena Swan and a range of others.  Much of the response points to these, to the activities of RCUK, and to the independent role of universities in deciding on initiatives to foster scientific careers for women.
