Inhalt: The EFFORTI project develops this model and evaluation framework on the basis of gender equality
measures in seven countries: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain and Sweden. These
countries vary considerably with respect to their innovation systems and performance, the status quo
of gender equality in the whole society as well as in RTDI but also with regard to their evaluation
culture. But also the gender equality policies and measures in RTDI are located at the interface of
different policy environments as they are related to the innovation system and gender equality but
also to broader welfare policies.
One main assumption of the EFFORTI project is that considering the context is important when
evaluating the effects of gender equality measures on research and innovation. Different contexts
might require different policies and measures to promote gender equality but might also influence the
effects of these measures.
Based on the objectives of the EFFORTI project we have considered the following contextual
framework conditions as relevant:
· the structure and performance of the research and innovation system,
· gender equality policies in the labour market and welfare policies related to reproductive work
and childcare,
· the governance and existing policies of gender equality in RTDI and
· the evaluation culture and policy especially in the field of gender equality in RTDI.
To get a better overview of the differences and similarities between these contexts and the different
countries, country notes for each EFFORTI country were prepared. The country notes are not
comparative but attempt to describe and explain the characteristics of each context in the respective
country. Therefore, relevant longitudinal data to describe the contextual environments for gender
equality measures in RTDI between the different countries have been defined and collected.
International data sources like Eurostat or OECD data have been used to enable comparativeness.
Additionally, international comparative reports as well as national sources of information have been
utilized to prepare the country notes. Especially the national sources of information were helpful for
providing explanations for specific characteristics or developments as such fine grained analyses are
often missing in international comparative reports. Furthermore, interviews with national experts have
been conducted to explore topics which were not covered by other sources of information or data.
The main findings of each country report were presented in a workshop with national stakeholders
and experts to collect feedback and verify interpretations. The seven country notes are published on
the EFFORTI homepage.
