Welcome to a high-level conference on why and how sex and gender analysis is fundamental for engendering excellence in many research fields. Sex and gender refer to biological characteristics and social/cultural factors, respectively. Recognizing gender differences has important implications for scientific knowledge.
Gender is a cross-cutting issue in Horizon 2020. The gender dimension is explicitly integrated into several topics across all sections of the programme.
The conference is cohosted by The Research Council and The Committee for Gender Balance and Diversity in Research.
- June 4: Perspectives and experiences by national and Nordic researchers.
- June 5: Distinguished international researchers will present why sex/gender analysis is crucial for the quality of their research.
