The Erasmus Program (EuRopean community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students), the most important student exchange program in the world, financed by the European Union and started in 1987, is characterized by a strong gender bias. Female students participate to the program more than male students. This work quantifies the gender bias in the Erasmus program between 2008 and 2013, using novel data at the university level. It describes the structure of the program in great detail, carrying out the analysis across fields of study, and identifies key universities as senders and receivers. In addition, it tests the difference in the degree distribution of the Erasmus network along time and between genders, giving evidence of a greater density in the female Erasmus network with respect to the one of the male Erasmus network.

伊拉斯谟大学网络中的性别偏见。


伊拉斯谟计划（欧洲大学生流动性社区行动计划）是世界上最重要的学生交流计划，由欧盟资助，于 1987 年启动，其特点是存在强烈的性别偏见。参加该项目的女学生多于男学生。这项工作利用大学层面的新数据量化了 2008 年至 2013 年间伊拉斯谟项目中的性别偏见。它详细描述了该计划的结构，进行了跨研究领域的分析，并确定了重点大学作为发送者和接收者。此外，它还测试了伊拉斯谟网络随时间和性别之间的程度分布差异，证明女性伊拉斯谟网络相对于男性伊拉斯谟网络具有更大的密度。
