Abstract

Inherited science shows the absence of women as builders and disseminators of knowledge. For this reason, today's universities face the great challenge of transforming the context and claiming their own space for women. This article analyses the actions and strategies implemented by Ibero-American universities in the fields of research, teaching and outreach to address gender inequalities in their structures, organisational culture and social interactions. Based on a qualitative and descriptive study, the results show the adoption of actions at the macro, meso and micro levels, combining equality and equity approaches. Significant progress has been made regarding the incorporation of gender perspective in specific areas of research and/or teaching, as well as the strengthening of social outreach initiatives that seek to guarantee the university's commitment to equality and the reduction of gender gaps. However, the approach to women's professional careers in universities reveals a structure and internal dynamics that follow very masculinised patterns that slow down their projection and recognition.
