Descripción del proyecto
Formación interdisciplinaria innovadora en diversidad de género
Es importante garantizar que las mujeres y los hombres, incluidos los miembros de minorías sexuales y de género, están representados por igual en la población activa europea. El proyecto G-VERSITY, financiado con fondos europeos, es una red de formación europea que proporcionará formación interdisciplinaria e intersectorial a investigadores noveles con el objetivo de determinar los efectos de los factores de fondo relevantes en las trayectorias educativas y profesionales de mujeres y hombres, incluidos los miembros de minorías sexuales y de género. El proyecto generará intervenciones con base científica que se emplearán en los lugares de trabajo y diseñará un conjunto de herramientas innovador y práctico que será usado por el sector público, así como por empresas comerciales y organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro. G-VERSITY reunirá a nueve de los principales grupos de investigación europeos de diversos sectores y siete socios no académicos, a los que le ofrecerá una formación que se centra en la supervisión colaborativa de quince proyectos de investigación individuales.
Objetivo
The European Training Network (ETN) G-VERSITY – Achieving Gender Diversity is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral doctoral training network for early stage researchers. G-VERSITY aims at fostering new kinds of expertise and jobs needed in Europe to help employers overcome the underrepresentation of women, men, and sexual and gender minority Groups (SGMs). The network constitutes a prototype for innovative doctoral training on gender diversity research. G-VERSITY joins 8 leading European research groups from psychology, education, management, business administration, media and communication studies with 7 non-academic partners, including a company working on the global certification for workplace gender equality, a city administration, a public broadcasting service, a media training centre, and 3 non-profit organisations. G-VERSITY will (1) determine how significant background factors affect educational and professional pathways of women, men, and SGMs, and (2) produce scientifically based interventions for use in the workplace—including workshops, guidelines, and training materials, to be applied by employers to attain gender diversity. G-VERSITY’s innovative practical toolbox with applicable knowledge for attaining gender diversity will be designed for use (a) by the public sector such as by policy makers, schools, and the media, and (b) by commercial and non-profit companies in recruitment, retention, and career advancement. The training consists of collaborative supervision of 15 individual research projects by academic and non-academic partners including mandatory intersectoral secondments, which will maximize early-stage researchers’ employability in academic and non-academic sectors. G-VERSITY’s results and activities will be widely communicated to the scientific community and society, for instance, through its interactive web platform SOLUTIONS, and improve the scientific and the public’s understanding of gender diversity.
