The mother of two sons has repeatedly expressed herself critical of Austrian education and research policy. Above all, she criticizes the discrimination against women within university structures, which is why she is particularly committed to promoting women in science. This long-term commitment earned her in 2001 the special honor award "For Women in Science" donated by UNESCO and L'Oréal , and in 2007 she received the Vienna Women's Prize. Renée Schroeder also spoke frequently about church and religion and their view of women and the world.

In May 2012, Renée Schroeder announced her resignation from the Academy in protest against the lack of excellence funding and the high percentage of Cartell Association members in the Academy.
