Report on approaches to inclusive gender equality in research and innovation (2022)

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
