FEMALE FACULTY AT GREEK COMPUTING DEPARTMENTS: 2003-2012

This study investigates the representation of female faculty in Computing departments in Greek Universities and Engineering schools during the decade 2003-2012. The data, the number and the percentage of female faculty members are derived from the Hellenic Statistical Authority (EL. STAT). These data refer to faculty members of all ranks, (professors, associate professors, assistant professors and lecturers) in: (a) every department of University and Engineering school in Greece (`Overall'), and (b) in 14 Computing University departments and 8 Electrical & Computer Engineering Schools, in Greece, which have been characterized as Computing departments according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) developed by Unesco. The analysis of the data shows that: (a) female faculty members `Overall' are less prevalent than male in every rank, (b) female faculty members `Overall' are better represented at the rank of lecturer, followed by the rank of assistant professor, associate professor and professor, (c) female faculty members in Computing departments are less prevalent than male at every rank, (d) female faculty members in Computing departments are better represented at the rank of lecturer, followed by the rank of assistant professor, associate professor and professor, (e) female faculty `Overall' are better represented compared to female faculty members in Computing departments at every rank, (f) the female representation at every rank, both `Overall' and in Computing departments, appears an ascending trend, through the decade, and (g) there are Computing departments where there are no female faculty members.
