Descrizione del progetto
Trasformare i dibattiti contemporanei sulla maternità in Europa
Il significato sociale e culturale della maternità ha subito un cambiamento significativo in Europa negli ultimi anni, che ha un impatto notevole sul modo in cui le donne vivono la maternità. L’obiettivo del progetto MotherNet, finanziato dall’UE, un programma TWINNING, è riunire le competenze in diverse parti d’Europa per stimolare una ricerca innovativa, interdisciplinare e di rilevanza politica sulla maternità; migliorare la qualità dei servizi di assistenza/supporto alla maternità; influenzare le politiche di conciliazione vita/lavoro; aumentare la consapevolezza del pubblico sulla costruzione sociale e culturale della maternità. Il progetto offrirà formazione, tutoraggio e scuole estive internazionali, trasformando i dibattiti contemporanei sulla maternità in Europa.
Obiettivo
The overall aim of the MotherNet project is to enhance the scientific excellence and research capacity of Vilnius University (Lithuania) and raise the profile of its research staff and their institution by linking an emerging body of researchers working on motherhood to world-class centres for research on motherhood at Uppsala University (Sweden) and the National University of Ireland Maynooth (Ireland). The work plan envisions: joint design and implementation of collaborative research projects; the creation of targeted training and mentoring programmes; the organization of three international summer schools; extensive inter-institutional mobility; cooperative training of postgraduate students and early-career researchers; coordinated promotion of research outputs; collaboration on a number of major grant applications; and an ambitious programme of dissemination and communication measures. The expected impact of this 3-year programme is the creation of an innovative, interdisciplinary research network that will endure beyond the lifetime of the grant and will make a significant contribution to improving the quality of maternal care and support services in the three countries involved; influence policies relating to work/life balance; and increase public awareness about the changes in the social construction of motherhood in contemporary European society. Most importantly, through these activities, the MotherNet project will significantly enhance the networking channels of VU researchers and increase the visibility and international impact of their research.
