Description du projet
Promouvoir l’égalité de genre dans les structures de recherche biomédicale
Le domaine de la recherche et de l’innovation biomédicales est confronté à divers défis, qui soulignent la nécessité d’interventions intersectionnelles en matière d’égalité de genre.. Dans cette optique, le projet INCLUDE, financé par l’UE, entend faire évoluer l’égalité de genre et l’inclusion en co-concevant, en déployant et en évaluant des plans d’égalité hommes-femmes (PEHF) novateurs dans les organismes de recherche biomédicale publics et privés. Le projet évaluera, par le biais d’approches intersectionnelles et intersectorielles, les PEHF existants et les méthodes de collecte de données afin d’identifier les domaines à améliorer. Il recensera les pratiques efficaces et évaluera les compétences des partenaires, afin d’éclairer la conception d’actions de PEHF pilotes inclusives. INCLUDE proposera également des programmes de formation sur mesure, des initiatives d’apprentissage collaboratif et des pôles thématiques afin de renforcer les capacités et de promouvoir le partage des connaissances dans l’ensemble du secteur.
Objectif
The BioMedical Research and Innovation (R&I) sector is characterised by specific challenges, emphasising the need for intersectional gender equality interventions with the potential to benefit health and wellbeing in society. The INCLUDE project drives institutional change towards gender equality and inclusiveness by co-designing, implementing, and evaluating innovative measures to advance Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) within seven public BioMedical Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) and one private Research and Technology Organization (RTO) using intersectional and intersectoral approaches. A geographically inclusive consortium covers 2 EU Member States and 6 Widening countries, in Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western Europe, with more and less advanced policy frameworks.
INCLUDE conducts a comprehensive analysis of GEPs and data collection practices already in place, identifying areas for improvement and potential challenges. The analysis, alongside a mapping of good practices and tools, and the identification of the competencies and learning needs of implementing partners, will inform the co-design of inclusive GEP pilot actions to improve intersectional gender equality. Substantial operationalization of intersectionality is enshrined in the consortium composition comprising scholars and activists who possess significant knowledge, expertise, and specialised tools for implementing an intersectional approach.
Tailored training programs and collaborative learning initiatives, the establishment of thematic hubs, a mentoring scheme, and study visits will ensure that internal capacities are fostered, and knowledge sharing is promoted. INCLUDE places emphasis on the long-term sustainability of an intersectional approach to GEPs through the elaboration of detailed sustainability plans and the strengthening of partnerships with the local innovation ecosystems, while promoting and multiplying networking efforts through the INCLUDE toolkit, CoP and Manifesto.
