Report on approaches to inclusive gender equality in research and innovation

Published on | 2 years ago

Programmes Enhancing EU R&I

This report from the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation from the European Commission presents findings from the project “External expertise to support the development of inclusive gender equality in research and innovation (R&I) strategy and contribution to the European Commission Task Force for Equality”. It aims to guide European Commission work with Member States and stakeholders to support the development of inclusive gender equality plans and policies in R&I, in line with the European Union’s commitment to open its R&I gender policies to intersections between gender and other social categories, such as ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation. The report recommends that policy makers, research funders, and research performing organisations build on prior gender equality actions to develop long term coordinated action to ensure equality and inclusion of marginalised groups in R&I.

The factsheet 'Towards inclusive gender equality in research and innovation' presents tips and good practices for R&I stakeholders to support the inclusion and equal opportunity of students, researchers and staff from diverse and marginalised backgrounds in European R&I systems

INSPIRE - Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in R&I

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
