HOW TO (MEANINGFULLY) INTEGRATE THE GENDER DIMENSION IN RESEARCH MANAGEMENT AND CONTENT UNDER HORIZON EUROPE?  BUILDING THE CASE AT ČZU PRAGUE

Based on updated theoretical and practical knowledge, this training is directed to junior and senior researchers, project coordinators and project managers, as well as non-academic staff involved in research project support and/or dissemination. It is intended to provide relevant insights and hands-on experience in integrating a gender perspective in research projects, not only to meet funding requirements (as those newly established for Horizon Europe) but also to further improve research quality and validity in research areas relevant to ČZU. The training will be divided in two sessions, held successively on Thursday 20th (afternoon) and Friday 21st (morning) October 2022.

Learning objectives:

  • Help to understand the concepts of sex and gender and their relevance for research, also in relevant ČZU fields
  • Introduce gender bias in research organizations and knowledge production
  • Introduce the context of Horizon Europe for integrating gender in research projects
  • Sensitize on the importance of including the sex and gender dimension into research projects
