Disrupting gendered stereotypes and disclosing neglected value-laden motivations of academic entrepreneurship

Project description

Ungendered value-laden motivations in scientific entrepreneurship

The EU-funded UNGENDERED VALUES project aims to explain why researchers (dis)engage in entrepreneurship over time by considering their stereotypes on entrepreneurship, their epistemic practices, the reward system they belong to, their type of research, their beliefs about the goals of science, and the entrepreneurial culture of the institutions they belong to. It aims also to analyze critically the scientific discourse that associates the (hegemonic) entrepreneurship with men, and the “female entrepreneurship” with women, since the association seems to be based on men’s exclusive values and traits and on women’s exclusive values and traits, respectively. The project will also evaluate the results of an interventional activity with cinematography and storytelling aimed to disrupt scientists’ (un)conscious gendered value-laden motivations stereotypes of entrepreneurship.

Objective

"Economic growth boosted by entrepreneurs and gender inclusivity is one of the major priorities of the European agenda, which calls for more entrepreneurs and empowers female entrepreneurship. The transfer of knowledge and technology generated in academic settings to the industry is essential for this growth. One condition for this transfer to happen is that researchers are willing to engage in research commercialization ventures or in relationships with industry actors. Previous research has shown, on the one hand, that scientists have intrinsic value-laden motivations to engage in these ventures or relationships other than pecuniary reasons; on the other hand, it has suggested that women scientists do not engage in innovation activities because, among other reasons, these activities are tied to notions of masculinity. UNGENDERED VALUES will consist of the 24-month project ""Disrupting gendered stereotypes and disclosing neglected value-laden motivations of academic entrepreneurship"" that will contribute to understanding researchers' innovation behavior in a time, in which other types of entrepreneurship are socially desired and expected, a new social moral of science is spreading, and more gender equality in society is being gained. UNGENDERED VALUES includes, on the one hand, an unprecedented interventional study that aims to disrupt gendered stereotypes of entrepreneurship among STEM scientists with the use of cinematography. On the other hand, it encompasses a multimethod study aimed to disclose the role that (un)gendered neglected pro-social and intrinsic values and other broader mix of causes play in triggering, maintaining, and dissuading STEM researchers' entrepreneurial initiatives over time. The empirical work will be carried out with women and men scientists in STEM fields."
