Gender Summit 9 Europe
Brussels
The Gender Summit is a platform for evidence-based and consensus-led dialogue between scientists, policy makers, gender scholars, and key stakeholder groups in science endeavours.
The 2016 Gender Summit Europe: Gender-based research, innovation and development for sustainable economies and societal wellbeing coincides with important policy developments in Europe and globally that look towards science knowledge and technological innovation to create a better future for all. Significant here are: the new EU Gender Action Plan and Horizon 2020; the UN Sustainable Development Goals; the African Union’s Africa 2063 and Continental Strategy for Education in Africa agenda; and the OECD vision for Inclusive Innovation. It is, therefore, right that this year’s Gender Summit should also open up dialogue on how understanding of sex/gender issues in research and innovation can also ensure sustainable and effective development.
Themes:
- New research on when, why and how sex-gender issues impact on quality of research, innovation, and development outputs and outcomes
- How gender continues to be addressed in Horizon 2020
- How to mainstream gender into the EU new vision for ERA of Open Innovation, Open Science, Open to the World
- How the global policy agendas to make the world a better place for all can benefit from incorporating scientific understanding of sex-gender issues
- New efforts to develop reliable, and region and sector sensitive, performance metrics and gender equality indicators and statistics, and to integrate them into research, innovation, and development policy actions
- The contributions made by the Gender Summit platform, and its global community of experts and practitioners, to advance gender-sensitive and responsive research, innovation, and development.
