Workshop series on gender aspects in research, multiple locations

The EU-funded 'Gender in research - toolkit and training' project is offering a series of training workshops on how to integrate gender aspects into Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) research during the first two months of 2010.

These one-day training sessions are intended for anybody interested in rendering research gender-sensitive, including researchers, project managers, National Contact Points, expert evaluators and others. The sessions will provide practical guidance on how the gender dimension can be integrated in research, using clear examples of how gender is relevant to existing FP7 projects.

Training sessions will take place at different locations across Europe and be based on examples from different areas of research. The following dates have been set so far:
- 18 January 2010, Brno, Czech Republic: nanosciences, materials and new production technologies and transport;
- 19 January 2010, Prague, Czech Republic: transport and health;
- 9 February 2010, Berlin, Germany: energy and nanosciences, materials and new production technologies;
- 24 February 2010, Zurich, Switzerland: energy and nanosciences, materials and new production technologies;
- 26 February 2010, Brussels, Belgium: environment and food, agriculture and biotechnology.

More training sessions will be organised throughout Europe until October 2010.For further information, please visit:
