GenPORT - Analysis of Policy Environments Report - Abbreviated Version

The purpose of this report by the GenPORT consortium is to summarise the key ‘gender and science’ policy making infrastructures in Europe by reviewing the role of policy actors within the national science policy contexts, the issues that policies at different levels are addressing, and the key mechanisms by which they are doing so. The overall aim of the report is to communicate the issues of ‘gender and science’ and their policy contexts to future users of genderportal.eu, including policy makers. Thus, the focus of this report is on the gender and science domains and only tangentially broaches the issue of other policy domains that flank the gender and science domains (e.g. the domain of general gender equality or gender equality in national labour markets).
