Editorial on the Research Topic

Women constitute 32% of global employment in the energy sector. Unsupportive environments, social biases, and lack of role models are some of the factors deterring females from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Gender equality is necessary for sustainable growth and representation in the STEM field and can only be achieved through active effort to change outdated mindsets and defeat harmful stereotypes.

This Research Topic invited contributions to highlight, showcase, and celebrate the work of female researchers across all fields of Energy Research. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Wind and Ocean Energy research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
