OBJECTIVES
The training sessions gives the research community practical tools to
integrate gender aspects into FP7 research, including equal
opportunities for women and men and the gender dimension of research,
thereby contributing to excellence in research.
WHO IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE
Researchers, people preparing project proposals, National Contact
Points, FP7 project coordinators and participants.
CONTENT OVERVIEW
How is the gender dimension integrated into a project?
The training introduces a practical toolkit. It comprises an overall
introduction into gender and research and shows how gender is
interwoven with all aspects of research. It then examines in pragmatic
terms how the gender dimension of research content contributes to
excellence in research. It also analyses case studies based on
concrete examples drawn from nine specific research fields: health;
food, agriculture and biotechnology; nanosciences, materials and new
production technologies; energy; environment; transport; socio-
economic sciences and humanities; science in society and specific
activities of international cooperation.
The specific research fields covered in the training session held at
the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) will be: HEALTH and SCIENCE IN
SOCIETY
TRAINING METHOD
One-day training sessions: the morning consists of a general
introduction to gender in research, while in the afternoon two
specific research fields (in this case HEALTH and SCIENCE IN SOCIETY)
are addressed with practical exercises in parallel sessions. The
method combines cognitive (knowledge-based) and inductive (experience-
based) elements. The programme is constructed as much as possible as
an interactive workshop, where all participants have the opportunity
to contribute to the session.
