Workshop on Gender Dimension in Research
The aim of the workshop is to introduce researchers, engineers and academic staff to sex and gender analysis as factors that can affect the quality of research results, as well as to explain how and why sex- and gender-related issues can influence research and innovation decisions when setting priorities, designing studies, communicating results. Researchers from EELISA institutions will be telling us how they are integrating the gender dimension in their research work and sharing their experiences, opinions and best practices. The workshop will also include a presentation on the gender dimension requirements under Horizon Europe. You can download the agenda EELISA InnoCORE _Gender in Research_Agendapdf.
This event will take place one day before the EELISA Inclusiveness Forum that will be celebrated on 6th October.
Participation in this workshop is open to any interested participant. REGISTRATION LINK
