	“Europe simply cannot reach the level of SET resources needed for its development without finding ways to remove its anachronistic science gender imbalance. It seems almost inconceivable that, at the beginning of the 21st century, European countries in need of both innovation and increasing birth rates still do not consider it a matter of social priority to provide universally available kindergartens and schools which are open all day.” High Level Group (HLG) on Human Resources in Science and Technology, Europe needs more scientists! conference, Brussels, 2 April 2004
