The Spanish National Research Council was the first public and private research organization in Spain to create a Women and Science Commission, which was approved by the CSIC Governing Board in 2002. This commision has two objectives: to study the possible causes that hinder both the entry and the career progression of women, and to propose to the Presidency possible actions aimed at achieving gender equality within the CSIC.
