ENWISE recommendationsClustered around different partners to ensure the improvement of the situation facing women scientists in ENWISE countries • European Commission: The Commission should continue to support the Helsinki Group, the Helsinki Group delegates being asked to submit regular reports with up-to-date information on the situation of women scientists in their respective countries • R&D National Policy Makers: The representation of the ENWISE countries in the Helsinki Group should be revisited in order to maximize the added value of the Helsinki Group activities in the national context.
