Description du projet
Une formation interdisciplinaire innovante sur la diversité des genres
Il est important de s’assurer que les femmes et les hommes, dont les membres des groupes de minorités sexuelles et de genre (MSG), soient représentés à parts égales dans la main‑d’œuvre européenne. Le projet G‑VERSITY, financé par l’UE, est un réseau de formation européen qui proposera une formation intersectorielle et interdisciplinaire aux chercheurs en début de carrière, dans l’objectif de déterminer les effets des antécédents familiaux significatifs sur les trajectoires éducatives et professionnelles des femmes et des hommes, dont ceux appartenant aux groupes des MSG. Le projet produira des interventions scientifiquement fondées qui seront utilisées sur les lieux de travail et concevra une boîte à outils innovante et pratique destinée à être utilisée par le secteur public ainsi que par les entreprises commerciales et à but non lucratif. G‑VERSITY rassemblera neuf grands groupes de recherche européens de divers secteurs et sept partenaires non universitaires, offrant une formation centrée sur la supervision collaborative de 15 projets de recherche individuels.
Objectif
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.
