Inhalt: In academic, non-profit and business research, project funding and grants are important elements to promote science, boost innovation and support researchers on their career paths. However, they are also powerful instruments to materialize and prioritize major principles of science policy and social values such as gender equality and equity. An analysis of research funding processes and organisations in the scope of the EU project CHANGE1 could illuminate gender policies and practices, aiming at a more diverse and gender equitable research and innovation landscape, but could also reveal inherent gender biases. This paper particularly focuses on the results of 41 expert interviews on research budgets, gender policies and practices in research funding in the three “strong innovator”-countries Austria, Germany and Israel, and explores the hidden potential of gender in science and research funding in all sectors.

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.

Inhalt: The goal of this research was to identify possible gender-specific influences on the assessment of the ERC (European Research Council) Starting Grant. This was done by analyzing the official documents related to the formal criteria, the application of these formal criteria during the peer review process, whereby particular attention was paid to the potential gender-specific application of the concept of scientific excellence. The composition of panels was also analyzed using the practices described here. Based on empirical evidence collected, recommendations for implementation in the ERC funding practices were developed and discussed with ERC. The POLICIES team led the consortium with VU Amsterdam and Tecnalia.
