Enhancing EU R&I

The two-day conference “Ending gender-based violence (GBV) in academia” is part of the programme of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union (1 July – 31 December 2022). The conference is organised by the Centre for Gender and Science (Czech Academy of Sciences) and supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.

The first day of the conference has a focus on agenda-setting and the second day on finding solutions. The objectives of the conference are to:

  • Showcase how the issue of GBV is embedded in the European Research Area agenda and linked to other concerns related to gender equality in research and innovation
  • Present and raise awareness of the need for a comprehensive policy framework (or the 7P framework) to address GBV with the requisite protections and tools
  • Move forward the policy dialogue and coordination by the current and the following two presidencies (CZ, SE, ES)
  • Present and discuss the experience with GBV policies taken at RFO level to spearhead development of policy at RFO level in the EU

The conference will bring together representatives of national authorities, Research Funding and Performing Organisations and other relevant stakeholders in the European Research Area and beyond in order to advance the debate on the actions needed to improve the protection of students and staff.

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
