Abstract:

In recent years, integrating a gender perspective into science and research has become a key priority within the European Research Area and international research policies. Beyond promoting equal opportunities, the gender dimension contributes to improving the quality, relevance, and impact of scientific knowledge.
This seminar will introduce key concepts and definitions related to gender equality in order to provide a conceptual framework for the main principles guiding gender-sensitive research.

We will explore the importance of incorporating gender perspectives at different stages of the research process, from research design and methodology to the analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of results. The seminar will also highlight current European policies and frameworks that promote gender equality in research institutions, including Gender Equality Plans and the integration of the gender dimension in research proposals, with the aim of supporting researchers in integrating gender perspectives into their scientific work.
