Summary of the research review Fördelning eller förfördelning? Forskningsfinansiering, jämställdhet och genus - En forskningsöversikt, Gothenburg 2015-09-16. The current system for research funding may be reinforcing the gender-unequal structures in academia. This is the conclusion of a research review presented by the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research today. In the review, published in Swedish and titled Fördelning eller förfördelning? Forskningsfinansiering, jämställdhet och genus – en forskningsöversikt, Louise Grip and Fredrik Bondestam have compiled and analysed international research on how inequalities related to gender and other factors are created and challenged in the allocation of research funding.
