Descripción del proyecto
Fomento de la igualdad de género en investigación e innovación
El fomento de la igualdad de género constituye una de las prioridades de la Unión Europea. En este contexto, el objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos MINDtheGEPs es crear planes de igualdad de género en organizaciones de investigación, incluidas universidades, para promover un cambio sistémico que favorezca la igualdad. El trabajo del proyecto ayudará a aumentar el número de mujeres en los órganos de gestión y toma de decisiones de las universidades y allanará el camino para crear la figura de un defensor de la igualdad de género. También incrementará la formación en abierto y los procesos de seguimiento de admisiones, y fomentará la igualdad de oportunidades en la investigación y las promociones administrativas. El proyecto se centrará en la desigualdad de género en cinco países diferentes con regímenes tradicionales en varias organizaciones de investigación.
Objetivo
"MINDtheGEPs takes a multidisciplinary multidimensional approach to challenging gender unbalances across five different countries with still traditional gender regimes (Italy, Spain, Serbia, Ireland, Poland) and across various types of Research Performing Organisations: 4 public universities (Turin, Tralee, Gdansk, Jagiellonian) and 1 public non-academic research institute (CNR); 1 academic (Belgrade) and 1 private technological institute center (Galicia). The consortium, led by the University of Turin’s CIRSDe, comprises also three non-implementing organizations bringing complementary expertise in monitoring and evaluation (Knowledge and Innovation), research communication (Uppsala University) and scientific publishing (Elsevier). In order to promote systemic institutional change and following the “no data-no policy” principle, the project will map the existing data and, building on the tools developed within an ongoing research project of the project coordinator, will produce new quali-quantitative evidence. On this basis, both structural and cultural actions can be effectively designed. At cultural level, the project will organize a virtuous chain of trainings, starting from across-partners ""train the trainers"" workshops to within-partners laboratories addressed to young women, but, endorsing the approach of ""fixing the system not the women"", also to men and senior researchers. At structural level, the project will introduce work-family measures addressed also to men, equality targets in decision-making boards and gender-sensitive research. The establishment of proper figures and bodies creates conditions for the endurance of GEPs beyond the project’s life. A multidisciplinary team (also including key-persons in middle or top management), coupled with a multi-skilled Advisory Board (including relevant national authorities), and 4 professional associations both in STEMM and SSH, will contribute to a successful change in RPOs and in society at large."
