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.

Inhalt: This article provides an overview of the theoretical assumptions, methods, and key results from the Evaluation Framework for Promoting Gender Equality in Research and Innovation (EFFORTI) project, which was funded by the European Commission. The purpose of EFFORTI was to analyse the impact of interventions to promote gender equality in research and innovation (R&I), and to establish criteria for more responsible and responsive research and innovation (RRI) systems in Europe. This article provides an overview of the project’s main results and the lessons learnt from the empirical analysis of R&I systems in several European countries and a comparison of 19 gender equality intervention measures.

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.

Inhalt: This Austrian Country Note is one of seven country notes written as part of the H2020 project EFFORTI
(Evaluation Framework for Promoting Gender Equality in R&I, No 710470) to analyse the context in
which gender equality measures in RTDI take place. EFFORTI seeks to analyse and model the influence
of measures to promote gender equality on research and innovation outputs and on establishing more
responsible and responsive RTDI (research, technology, development, innovation) systems.
The main objective of this report is to understand the influence of wider contextual framework
conditions in Austria on structuring the situation of women in RTDI, their career opportunities and,
subsequently, on the effects of gender equality measures in RTDI. Based on the objectives of the
EFFORTI project we have considered 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 child‐care,
· 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.
In a concluding chapter the findings of each country note are summarized. This provides a better
understanding of how gender equality policies in RTDI are related to the innovation system on the one
hand and to broader policies of gender equality and welfare regimes on the other hand.
With this report we acknowledge the need to analyse the structure and governance of innovation
systems and the societal environments in terms of the opportunities and constraints offered by various
gender, welfare and innovation regimes for women's employment. This task is particularly important
as programmes and initiatives to promote gender equality in RTDI are located at the interface of
different policy environments of the innovation system and gender equality as well as welfare policies.
For each EFFORTI country (Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Sweden) such a report
was compiled because the selected programmes and initiatives that will be analysed as case studies,
are embedded in different contexts and interact differently with their environment. The national
country notes will provide a better understanding of these contexts.
Subsequently, the seven national country notes will be compared with each other in a comparative
report. The comparative report will focus on the interfaces between the three domains: innovation
system, welfare and gender equality policy initiatives, as well as of evaluation cultures, and how they
are reflected in gender equality programmes in RTDI. A special emphasis will be put on how gender
equality policies are embedded in and aligned with national innovation policies.
