Abstract: Background The proportion of women among healthcare and biomedical research professionals in neuro oncology is growing . With changes in cultural expectations and work-life balance considerations, more men aspire to nonfull-time jobs, yet, leadership positions remain dominated by men.Methods. The European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) disparity committee carried out a digital survey to explore gender balance and actions suitable to promote gender equality . The survey was distributed among EANO members in 2021, with responses analyzed descriptively.Results: In total, 262 participants completed the survey (141 women, 53.8%; median age 43). Respondents were neurosurgeons (68, 26.0%); neurologists (67, 25.6%), medical oncologists (43, 16.4%), or other healthcare or re search professionals; 208 participants (79.4%) worked full-time . Positive action to enforce the role of women in neuro-oncology was deemed necessary by 180 participants (68 .7%), but only 28 participants (10 .7%) agreed that women only should be promoted until gender balance is reached. A majority of respondents (162, 61.8%) feit that women with an equivalent CV should be prioritized over men to reach gender balance. lf in the future the balance favored women at higher positions, 112 respondents (4 2.7%) agreed to apply positive action formen. The top in dicators considered relevant to measure gender balance w ere: salary for similar positions (18 3/228, 80.3%), paid overtime (176 /228, 77.2%), number of permanent positions (164 / 228, 71.9%), protected time for research (161 /227,70.9%), and training opportunities (157 /227, 69.2%).Conclusions: Specific indicators may help to measure and promote gender balance and should be considered for implementation among healthcare professionals in neuro -oncology .
