The Gender Dimension in European RD&I  

On September 2nd, Neth-ER and TNO are hosting an event on the gender dimension in European research, development & innovation. This webinar aims at scrutinizing the gender dimension in the European RD&I policy agenda and at exploring how the gender dimension can best be integrated into RD&I projects. Furthermore, we will discuss how knowledge institutions organize themselves to promote gender balance, and gendered innovations.

To these aims, the event will provide a platform for knowledge institutions and policymakers to exchange information, best practices and case studies at research and institutional level.
 

Topics that will be addressed include:

•             Gender dimension & policy
•             Gender dimension in Horizon Europe
