Inhalt: The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. The under-representation of women in research and innovation has been documented as a global phenomenon and is particularly heightened on decision-making boards and in leadership positions. Presenting a reflexive approach to gender equality for research organisations developed within the TARGET project, funded by the European Commission, the authors describe the experiences of the project's implementation in seven Gender Equality Innovating Institutions in the Mediterranean basin - including research performing organisations, research funding organisations and a network of universities. The TARGET approach goes beyond the formal adoption of a gender equality policy by emphasising an iterative and reflexive process towards equality at the institutional level as well as the establishment of a community of practice for gender equality within the institution. The approach is based on the assumption that actual change is the result of increased institutional willingness and capacity to identify, reflect on and address gender bias in a sustained way. Starting point and anchor of the process is a tailored gender equality plan for each institution. A specific characteristic of TARGET is the fact that implementing institutions are located in countries which have been characterised as relatively 'inactive' in developing gender equality policies in science and research. Therefore, internal and external communication about the relevance of gender equality in science and research forms an important element of a reflexive gender equality policy in contexts which are characterised by resistances, anti-genderism and traditional gender roles. This book will therefore be essential reading for higher education leaders and managers, and staff at all levels committed to achieving gender equity in higher education. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

The communities of practice playbook :a playbook to collectively run and develop communities of practice
Autor/in:
European Commission. Joint Research Centre.
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?
Gender equality in research funding : A study of 11 European Countries, Israel, and Canada - Deliverable 6.3
Autor/in:
Hermansson, Kenth; Jacobsson, Carl; Österberg, Richard
Quelle: GENDER-NET Plus; , 2021.
Inhalt: This report examines the gender equality situation in European research funding, with the Canadian situation as a perspective. In-depth studies of the 13 GENDER-NET Plus countries are complemented by the analysis of aggregated data from the Gender Gap Index, and, for the European countries, data from Eurostat and She Figures. The European Commission report The Gender Challenge in Research Funding from 2009 serves as a base line for the analysis.
Gender Equality Policies in Public Research : Based on a survey among Members of the Helsinki Group on Gender in Research and Innovation, 2013
Autor/in:
European Commission
Quelle: Europäische Kommission; Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union, 2014. 50 S
Inhalt: Gender issues in research and innovation have gained increased recognition on policy agendas at national, European and international levels, as well as at the level of research organisations. This report on “Gender Equality Policies in Public Research” is based on a survey among the members of the Helsinki Group, the Commission’s advisory group on gender, research and innovation. It gives a detailed analysis of the current state-of-play of EU Member States’ and associated countries’ initiatives for promoting gender equality in research and innovation. It comes at a critical review point along the path towards a fully operational European Research Area (ERA) and provides a timely insight for the forthcoming ERA Progress Report 2014

Inhalt: "The 'Encouragement to Advance' project was concurrently both quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated with the aim of ensuring quality as well as for substantiating how it was conducted. The author gives a detailed presentation and interpretation of the evaluation design, method and quantitative results. One of the positive results was that approximately 90% of the participants stated that they would recommend seminars of this kind to female colleagues in similar situations. Continuation and further development of the seminar concept while tailoring it to the appointment procedures in more EU countries could have positive effects on greater participation of women scientists in the European research landscape and for realizing the goals of the Lisbon Treaty."

The Gender Challenge in Research Funding : Assessing the European National Scenes - Report
Herausgeber/in:
European Commission
Quelle: Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2009. 136 S
Inhalt: The Gender and Excellence expert group was set up to provide recommendations on the improvement of transparency in the procedures used in selection committees for the award of grants and fellowships and in access to research funding in general. (...) The expert group has not found a large and systematic gender imbalance in terms of success rates in research funding in the funding systems studied, although a few exceptions exist. However, there is a clear difference in application behaviour: women are less likely to apply for funding than men, and this needs further study.
An overview of the national situations in terms of esearch landscape and gender settings is annexed to the report. The full national reports have been posted on the Science in Society web portal so that the work put into this analysis is made available to all nterested parties for both policy-making and further study. This report is the first collection and comparison of its kind, and as such, it opens up new grounds for further research and in-depth analysis while calling for better and more systematic data collection."
