The CASPER project (https://www.caspergender.eu) examines the feasibility of establishing a European award/certification system for gender equality for Research Performing Organizations. Based upon an extensive assessment of available certification schemes and needs across Europe and beyond, the project has developed three possible scenarios that pave the ground for a realistic EU wide award/certification framework.
This e-discussion provides an open forum to comment and discuss the three developed Gender Equality…
Gender equality and gender mainstreaming have become one of the European Research Area (ERA) priorities –and gender-balance in decision-making is one of three key objectives. There is however a tendency to reduce the debate in this field to (equal) numerical representation of women and men on decision-making bodies, thereby fueling binary notions of sex/gender…
While the recruitment, advancement and retainment of women in research careers has been a priority for ERA for almost 20 years, dedicated attention to sexual harassment is relatively recent. The #MeTooAcademia and #MeTooSTEM movements have jumpstarted the discussion on the prevention of sexual harassment at the institutional level, as well as created a platform to discuss improving the way sexual harassment experiences and claims are dealt with within the research system.
This e-discussion aims to provide recent insights concerning the occurrence of, response to and prevention of…
