The coordinator of WiTEC Spain is the research group of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). The members of this research group have been involved in different projects regarding equal opportunities for women since 1996. Some of those projects included studies about labour and pay discrimination and its relationship with job evaluation. Other studies were about glass ceiling, equal opportunities and statistics studies on women in Science and Technology.
Their main goals are: to know the different ways of gender discrimination and the causes of the small number of women in the world of science and technology (and especially in higher positions); to design tools and performance proposals contributing to equal opportunities for women in learning and in the work market: access to jobs, promotion, salary and working conditions; motivate and training in matter of gender; to provide with proposals that impel a greater participation of women in science and technology.
