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 .},
