Quelle: Publications Office, 2021.
Inhalt: The playbook consists of guidance, good practices and interactive visual boards. Community managers with sponsors, core groups and members can work
together on these boards by following the step-by-step guidance and questions posed in this playbook. It covers eight success facets that allow you to develop,
engage and empower your community at every stage of its journey.
The playbook provides you with the tools and processes to create your community roadmap. These tools and processes are based on in-depth and interactive
explorations of eight community success facets:
1. vision – what is your community raison d’être, what are the goals it aspires to achieve and what are the corresponding SMART objectives?
2. governance – how do you work together, and with whom and how do you take decisions?
3. leadership – how will you ensure strong leadership participation by both sponsors and core groups?
4. convening–what kind of convening opportunities work for your community?
5. collaboration and cooperation–how do you co-create and coordinate different cooperation and collaboration processes to deliver concrete community knowledge assets/artefacts?
6. community management–how do you facilitate dynamic, hybrid and (a) synchronous community interactions?
7. user experience–how do you ensure a member-centric community experience while delivering on the tasks set and supporting members’ needs?
8. measurement–how do you understand and measure community vitality and what can you learn from it?
Cameroon professional women in sciences : A trans-disciplinary review, series 1

Inhalt: In order to avoid continuous seasoned scientist/professional female gender polarization and marginalization in our society, Cameroon Professional Research Oriented Women Network (CaPROWN) took up the initiative – under the sponsorship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) – to propagate a trans-disciplinary research review approach to seek collaboration outside the bounds of female scientific professional experiences to make new discoveries, explore different perspectives, express and exchange ideas, and gain new insights into gender through peer-reviewed volumes like this. Thus, this book is not solely about gender-related research topics, but rather on works of mostly female researchers that have gone through reviewed lenses of experts of different science disciplines.

Gureyev, Vadim N.; Mazov, Nikolay A.; Kosyakov, Denis V.; Guskov, Andrey E.
Quelle: Scientometrics, 124 (2020) 2, S 1599–1630
Inhalt: The phenomenon of scientific mobility, actively developing in recent decades, attracts increasing attention of researchers in view of its importance for the development of science, dissemination of scientific knowledge, making informed decisions in the management of science and training of qualified personnel. Based on an extensive analysis of the literature on the topic in the last 30 years with the use of bibliometric approaches, this paper outlines the main evolutionary stages of scientific mobility in the context of brain drain and circulation concepts; considers relations, advantages and disadvantages of scientific mobility in relation to scientific inbreeding; describes the main approaches and methodological aspects formed today in the study of the scientists mobility; discusses its positive and negative consequences for researchers, organizations, countries, and individual disciplines, and summarizes the motivations and driving forces of scientists when leaving the country and when returning.

ACT Community Mapping Report: Cooperation, Barriers and Progress in Advancing Gender Equality in Research Organisations
Autor/in:
Reidl, Sybille; Krzaklewska, Ewa; Schön, Lisa; Warat, Marta
Quelle: Zenodo, 2019.
Inhalt: This deliverable presents the results of the ACT community survey and subsequent analysis. The survey was conducted in order to gain knowledge on existing practices regarding gender equality in Research Performing and Research Funding Organisations, their networks as well as needs and support. Moreover, it aimed at identifying potential members of Communities of Practice (CoPs).
A Social Network Analysis (SNA) shows existing cooperation clusters and identifies central actors in the European landscape of research organisations. It also indicates regions that are so far disconnected from the European network and which are interested in becoming part of a CoP.
The reported barriers and consequent needs of survey respondents further provide important information for the ACT consortium to develop suitable support and helpful tools to promote and strengthen existing and future collaborations.
The survey mainly reached Higher Education Institutions, but also other research institutions, in almost all EU28 countries, which was the regional focus of the study. Half of the respondents are researchers, one third have a leading position and nearly one third hold a position like equal opportunities officer – all these three groups overlap. The interest in ACT turned out to be very high: More than half of the respondents want to become members of a Community of Practice.
Deliverable 1.2 of the ACT project.

Gendered images of international research collaboration
Autor/in:
Zippel, Kathrin S.
Quelle: Gender, Work & Organization, 4 (2018) 1, 139 S
Inhalt: Joan Acker's theory on gendered organizations offers important tools for understanding subtler forms of inequalities and gendered practices in the workplace. According to Acker, invisible mechanisms in organizations such as the symbolic and material/structural aspects of organizations reproduce gendered inequalities. My application of Acker's theory demonstrates how imagery itself assigns value to collaborative practices in gender stereotypical ways. In an institutional context that devalues international research collaboration among faculty, gendered images of exploiter, patronizing helper, partner, or friend ultimately serve to construct glass fences - obstacles to international collaborative engagement - particularly for women. The reflection and potential recreation of gendered inequalities among academics simultaneously reconstructs inequalities between the U.S. and abroad, as institutional reward structures attach gendered symbolic and material values that (re)shape (international) collaborations themselves. Together, these processes construct the gendered organization of global science and academia.

Slaying the Seven-Headed Dragon: The Quest for Gender Change in Academia
Autor/in:
van den Brink, Marieke; Benschop, Yvonne
Quelle: Gender, Work & Organization, 19 (2012) 1, S 71–92
Inhalt: In this article we propose a multi-level distinction between gender inequality practices and gender equality practices to come to better understanding of the slow pace of gender change in academia. Gender inequality resembles an unbeatable seven-headed dragon that has a multitude of faces in different social contexts. Based on an empirical study on the recruitment and selection of full professors in three academic fields in The Netherlands we discuss practices that should bring about gender equality and show how these interact with gender inequality practices. We argue that the multitude of gender inequality practices are ineffectively countered by gender equality practices because the latter lack teeth, especially in traditional masculine academic environments.

Inhalt: Der Beitrag behandelt die Geschlechtergleichstellungspolitik in Bosnien-Herzegowina, insbesondere das Zusammenspiel von internationalen Akteuren und lokaler Umsetzung der Programme. Die Autorin rekonstruiert zunächst den Prozess, wie die Initiative für eine Quotenregelung auf die politische Agenda des Landes gelangte. Die Ausführungen zeigen, dass die bisher vorherrschende Meinung, internationale Organisationen und Impulse von außen seien die treibende Kraft, nicht haltbar ist. Vielmehr existiert ein "multi-level advocacy network" von lokalen Akteuren und lokalen Initiativen der Frauen, die zusammen mit den RepräsentantInnen internationaler Organisationen die Notwendigkeit und Angemessenheit einer Quotenregelung durchgesetzt haben. Kritisiert wird damit von der Autorin, die weitverbreitete "top down" Haltung vieler "EntwicklungshelferInnen", "traditionale" Gesellschaften einer "nachholenden Modernisierung" unterziehen zu müssen.

Inhalt: Die Durchsetzung der Gender Mainstreaming-Strategie ist seit ihrer Festschreibung im Vertrag von Amsterdam ein zentraler Gegenstand gleichstellungspolitischer Diskussionen. Während einerseits versucht wird, bereits laufende Maßnahmen durch neue Akzente zu ergänzen, bieten die Reformprozesse an deutschen Hochschulen die Möglichkeit, gemäß einer "strengen Lehre" des Gender Mainstreaming von Beginn an die Auswirkungen auf beide Geschlechter zu prüfen, gewachsene Strukturen in ihrer sozialen Konstruiertheit zu berücksichtigen, die Führungsebene einzubeziehen und Reformschritte rechtzeitig einzuleiten. Die Autorin stellt den Hintergrund, die Zielrichtung und Bedeutung des EU-Projektes "European Platform of Women Scientists (EPWS) vor, das durch eine Finanzierung aus dem 6. Forschungsrahmenprogramm der Europäischen Kommission vom Kompetenzzentrum Frauen in Wissenschaft und Forschung CEWS realisiert wird. Sie hebt insbesondere die Bedeutung hervor, die eine politische Einflussnahme von Wissenschaftlerinnen im Prozess der allgemeinen wissenschafts- und hochschulpolitischen Entwicklungen und in Hinblick auf die aktuellen Reformen des Bologna-Prozesses hat.
