Over the past three years, Horizon Europe project GENDERACTIONplus has worked to advance inclusive gender equality in the European Research Area. Our work is coming to a close at a time of intense policy negotiations that are shaping the future priorities for research and innovation, including Framework Programme 10. This is happening against the backdrop of strengthened right-wing anti-gender politics, social upheaval, and an emerging policy framework focused on competitiveness.
The aim of the conference is to review the progress made in advancing inclusive gender equality in research and innovation in the EU; assess advances in policy coordination accomplished through GENDERACTIONplus Communities of Practice; and engage in a ‘whole system’ dialogue with Policy makers, research funders, ERA stakeholder organisations, ERA gender equality officers, and scholars to discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead.
For our event, we are honored to have the Patronage of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
