Research & Innovation - Participant Portal

An in-depth understanding of men and women's needs, behaviours and attitudes contributes to improve the scientific quality and societal relevance of the produced knowledge, technology and/or innovation. It also leads to produce goods and services better suited to potential markets.

Applicants are encouraged to develop a gender dimension in their projects whenever relevant.

Gender dimension means integrating sex and gender analysis into research and innovation content. The gender dimension is a dynamic concept that ensures that researchers question gender norms and stereotypes and address the evolving needs and social roles of women and men. Addressing the gender dimension in research and innovation entails taking into account sex and gender in the whole research process, when developing concepts and theories, formulating research questions, collecting and analysing data and using the analytical tools that are specific to each scientific area.
