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

Description du projet

Des motivations non sexuées au sein de l’entrepreneuriat scientifique

Le projet UNGENDERED VALUES, financé par l’UE, entend expliquer pourquoi les chercheurs se (dés)engagent des activités entrepreneuriales au fil du temps en examinant leurs stéréotypes sur l’entrepreneuriat, leurs pratiques épistémiques, le système de récompenses auquel ils appartiennent, leur type de recherches, leurs croyances sur les objectifs de la science, et la culture entrepreneuriale des institutions auxquelles ils appartiennent. Il cherche également à analyser de manière critique le discours scientifique qui associe l’entrepreneuriat (hégémonique) aux hommes, et l’«entrepreneuriat féminin» aux femmes, étant donné que cette association semble reposer sur les valeurs et les traits propres aux hommes et sur les valeurs et les traits propres aux femmes, respectivement. En outre, le projet évaluera les résultats d’une activité d’intervention recourant à la cinématographie et à la narration afin de bousculer les stéréotypes de l’entrepreneuriat liés aux motivations sexuées (in)conscientes des scientifiques.

Objectif

"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."
