The following visualizations present the average percentage of women enrolled in Physics across Europe, based on data from Eurostat. They are intended to provide a quick overview of the average proportion of women studying physics in EU countries. Data is currently available for the time span from 2015 until 2023 (as of December 2025). Due to data protection regulations, not all countries provide data; we have visualized all available data for the reported years.
