Welcome to the homepage of European Women Leaders, a EU-funded project promoting European women leaders and EU gender policies in the United States.

In terms of research, we analyse the role of women leaders in the EU, starting from its foundation. We look at how their careers progressed, at the variables that helped or made their professional life difficult, as well as at the policies they persued while in office, and at the results they obtained. In addition to the research - and related publications - the project supports a number of events with or about European Women Leaders and EU gender policies.

This project is the follow up and the expansion of a previous project focused on women's leadership in International Relations and foreign policy in academia, diplomacy, international organizations, government and international business also funded by the ERASMUS+ program.

The project, hosted by the Institute for Women Policy Research (IWPR), the #1 think tank on women issues, brings together top US institutions across the United States and scholars from Europe.

Our work consists of a body of research to be published in journal articles, op-eds, and a forthcoming book with Brookings Press. The network also organizes conferences and panels.
