The GENOVATE Community is a platform which enables GENOVATE partners to share institutional information and case studies, and facilitates the coordination of a buddy system for bench learning.
The GENOVATE Community consist of seven GENOVATE partner institutions; the GENOVATE International Advisory Board; key strategic collaborators and stakeholders and the general public. It is a mechanism designed to facilitate meaningful knowledge exchange across the community at local, national and international levels within each of the partner institutions’ countries, across Europe and globally.
Very much in line with the LTU team's Gender Equality Action Plan strategy, we integrate gender dimension into the design, process, content and implementation of research and innovation.
- The League of European Research Universities (LERU) launched a new advice paper on the topic "Gendered Research and Innovation: Integrating sex and gender analysis into the research process" in Brussels. The report shows how gendered research and innovation, or GRI, is an under-recognised issue, which too often is not incorporated into the design, process, content and implementation of research.
Professor Simone Buitendijk, vice-rector magnificus of the Universiteit Leiden, a steering group member of the LERU Gender Working Group and main author of the report, says: “Gendered Research and Innovation [GRI] matters; it goes beyond gender equality, it is about the design, content and validity of research. Our paper is part of a growing awareness that GRI is essential to face global challenges. The major problems facing our world cannot be addressed without comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, evidence-based research which includes GRI.”
