The Research Council Norway has worked for many years to promote gender equality in research, gender perspectives in research and fundamental knowledge about gen- der. We seek to be a driving force in these areas, both nationally and internationally.
The Research Council will:
-
> establish a national meeting place on gender perspectives in research between basic gender research, other research fields and across disciplines;
-
> draw on gender research when develop- ing subject field strategies and evalua- tions;
-
> include discussions of gender perspec- tives in research policy input related to government white papers, national strategies, institutional strategies, the development of international research initiatives, etc.;
-
> incorporate gender perspectives in the Research Council’s dialogue with research institutions;
-
> integrate gender perspectives in Nor- way’s participation in the EU framework programmes and international funding instruments.
-
> assess the significance of gender perspectives in the development and programmes and activities;
> introduce annual division-based report- ing on efforts related to gender perspec- tives in programmes and activities;
> strengthen gender perspectives in selected priority areas;
> assess the relevance of gender perspec- tives in all application assessment;
> implement competence-building measures for the administration and programme boards in various thematic and subject areas;
> take the initiative to strengthen policy- -oriented research on gender equality challenges in society.
> evaluate the capacity and quality of gender research in Norway with a view to developing this research field;
> include analyses of gender perspectives in the Research Council’s annual reports.
