Gender dimension in two new H2020 proposals

Yesterday two more H2020 proposals were submitted to the European Commission. One is about the public sector’s requirements to preserve and open increasing amounts of heterogeneous digital information that should be utilized by citizens and businesses. The project will collaborate with Genovate in order to integrate a gender dimension in relevant parts of the project.

The other one deals with improved communication between citizens and public administration with new personalized services using visualization and user motivation. Power structures and group compositions according to age, gender, ethnicity, class and educational level  will be considered when including the different stakeholders in the participatory design process.
