Vinnova, Sweden's innovation agency, organised a briefing on the program Science with and for Society in Horizon in 2020 on January 20, 2016. Horizon 2020 is the world's largest research and innovation programs with a budget of almost 80 billion euros over the period 2014-2020. The program focuses on turning scientific breakthroughs into innovative products and services that can lead to new business opportunities, jobs, and that can improve people's lives. The program Science with and for Society 's goal is to involve various actors in society and other stakeholders in research and innovation processes, with intention to enable collaboration between academia, industry and the public. Gender equality and encouraging young people to take an interest in science and a career in research and innovation are other important areas of focus.
Noora Eronen, EC Policy Officer from DG RTD and invited speaker picks up the gender dimension of LTU's energy project as one of the good examples.
The seminar on a gender and equal opportunities perspective in research projects and funding applications with Paula Wennberg, LTU as invited speaker brought together 25 participants from diverse disciplines of Uppsala University. Åsa Cajander, associate professor of human-computer interaction, the organiser of the seminar on February 29, 2016 has a role of the gender equality officer at the university.
- Funding organisations such as Vinnova, VR and Forte now require a gender and equal opportunities perspective. When applying for funding we hence need to describe how we incorporate gender and equal opportunities in the project work, such as in tests. We also need to describe how the project team from a gender and the equal opportunities perspective, and also the contribution of the mix of gender, ethnic and cultural diversity. One should note that the assessment of the applications is based on the strength of the gender and equal opportunities perspective in the project description. In this seminar we will discuss how to set up projects that are strong from a gender and equal opportunities perspective, and we will be provided with concrete examples of such project descriptions.
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.”
