Inhalt: Experiences from individualized gender equality funding programs, as the ones used in Denmark, demonstrate that one‐off policy interventions, although a small step in the right direction, cannot stand alone in the fight against gender imbalances in academia. Closing the gender gap is a complex, multi‐level undertaking that needs constant rethinking of policies and the dedication of adequate financial resources. The need of rethinking policy is in particular urgent during Covid‐19, which has further amplified imbalances due to a drop in the productivity of women researchers. Funding bodies should therefore reconsider traditional approaches heavily rewarding publications in the distribution of research funds. They ought to respond to the gendered impact of the pandemic by engaging institutions in structural and cultural change, setting up requirements for institutions to have achieved a certain level of gender equality outcomes, and thus link institutional progress to research funding.

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
Details
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."

Implicit bias in academia : A challenge to the meritocratic principle and to women's careers - and what to do about it
Autor*in:
League of European Research Universities (LERU)
Quelle: Leuven (Advice Paper, 23), 2018.
Details
Inhalt: This paper examines the mechanisms behind the loss of female talent in academia. It is well known and amply documented that in Europe and elsewhere a significantly larger number of women than men do not reach the higher echelons and leadership positions in academia when compared to the number of entrants into the profession (usually doctoral graduates). Moreover, this situation is generally not improving at a satisfactory rate, although good efforts are undertaken. In a 2012 paper LERU argued that the “leaky pipeline”, as the phenomenon is sometimes called, undermines the quality of research and represents an unacceptable loss for academia, the economy and society. The paper showed what LERU and other universities are and should be doing to address gender imbalances.
Looking at the question of what hampers women’s progression in academic careers, the current paper focuses on the phenomenon of bias. A large body of research points to implicit bias as a significant impediment to women’s advancement in an academic career. Reviewing available evidence, the paper shows how implicit bias plays a role in processes where important career impacting decisions are made, i.e. in academic recruitment, retention and advancement, as well as in the allocation of research funding. The paper sets out possible actions to counter implicit bias. It is targeted at all those responsible for good governance at universities, at research funding organisations at national and European levels, at leaders, policy makers and all other members of the scientific community and society at large.

Inhalt: Funding agencies have ample room to improve their policies.
National research agencies are responsible for promoting excellent research that benefits all of society (1). Integrating sex, gender, and diversity analysis (SG&DA) into the design of research, where relevant, can improve research methodology, enhance excellence in science, and make research more responsive to social needs (2). National funding agencies—encouraged by scientists and social movements—have thus begun to implement policies to integrate sex, gender, and, more recently, diversity analysis into the grant proposal process, where these factors have been shown to play a role. We develop a five-part analytical framework for implementing and evaluating SG&DA policies, and use it to evaluate the quality of SG&DA policies for 22 major national funding agencies across six continents. By collecting emerging global practices for policy implementation, we seek to improve understanding of these policies and practices in efforts to enhance international collaborations and research excellence.

Overcoming the Challenge of Structural Change in Research Organisations : A Reflexive Approach to Gender Equality
Herausgeber*in:
Wroblewski, Angela; Palmén, Rachel
Quelle: Bingley, UK: Emerald Publishing Limited, 2022, First edition. 1 Online-Ressource
Details
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.

Does Gender Bias Still Affect Women in Science?

Roper, Rachel L.
Quelle: Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR, 83 (2019) 3
Details
Inhalt: SUMMARYThe percentage of women employed in professional scientific positions has been low but is increasing over time. The U.S. National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have both implemented programs to improve women's participation in science, and many universities and companies have diversity and equity programs. While most faculty and scientists believe that they are fair and unbiased, numerous well-designed studies published in leading peer-reviewed journals show that gender bias in sciences and medicine is widespread and persistent today in both faculty and students. Recent studies show that gender bias affects student grading, professional hiring, mentoring, tenure, promotion, respect, grant proposal success, and pay. In addition, sexual harassment remains a significant barrier. Fortunately, several studies provide evidence that programs that raise conscious awareness of gender bias can improve equity in science, and there are a number of recommendations and strategies for improving the participation of women.

"Implementing the goals of the Bologna declaration means a completely new organization of study programmes, working conditions and the production of knowledge aiming at the harmonization of the European Scientific Area. The new entrepreneurial university is making efforts to increase economic efficiency, transparency and to offer new forms of services in academic teaching and research. More or less vehement debates deal with the question if and to which extent this process will change the original character of academic education and science. Gender research however, is especially interested in the influence of the restructuring process on gender relations. In which way do rationalization and reorganization of the universities and of the universities of applied sciences de/engender academic teaching and research? Where is gender research positioned now?

Soziale Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Wissenschaft und Forschung
Herausgeber*in:
Dahmen, Jennifer; Thaler, Anita
Quelle: Opladen; Berlin; Toronto: Budrich, 2017.
Details
Inhalt: Unter welchen Bedingungen können die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter und allgemein eine soziale Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Wissenschaft und Forschung erreicht werden? Welche konkret wirksamen Maßnahmen gibt es, auch z.T. gegenläufige Praktiken auszuhebeln? Das Buch wendet sich an Praktiker*innen und Forscher*innen gleichermaßen, die sich sowohl über bekannte Hindernisse und deren mögliche Umgehung als auch über neueste Erkenntnisse zu europäischen Gleichstellungsstrategien informieren wollen.
In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde viel geschrieben und manches getan, um in Wissenschaft und Forschung Geschlechtergerechtigkeit zu befördern. Die Herausgeberinnen dieses Buches forschen seit über zehn Jahren in verschiedensten europäischen und nationalen Studien zu Gender (und Diversity) in Wissenschaft und Forschung. Am Ende vieler Studien bleiben Empfehlungen an Politik und Organisationen übrig – dann liegt es oft am engagierten Einzelnen in Wissenschafts- und Forschungsbetrieben diese im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten umzusetzen. Viele allgemeine Versprechen nach Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Wissenschaft und Forschung werden jedoch nicht eingelöst, manche gesetzliche Regelungen bleiben aufgrund informeller Praktiken zahnlos. Vor diesem Hintergrund reflektieren und analysieren die AutorInnen u.a. die Wissenschafts- und Forschungspolitik in Deutschland und Österreich unter den Aspekten der sozialen und Geschlechtergerechtigkeit, die Gleichstellungspraxis deutschsprachiger Universitäten, sowie außeruniversitärer und industrieller Forschung, Machtmechanismen in der Forschungsförderung, bei Wissenschaftspreisen, Patenten und Publikationen.

Gender Equality Measures in Academia : Literature review commissioned by the Gender Equality Commission of the Swiss National Science Foundation
Autor*in:
Zimmermann, Andrea; Oliveira, Deborah; Illmer, Lea Dora
Quelle: Universität Basel; Basel, 2023.
Details
Inhalt: The literature review presents an overview of relevant policies and best practices promoting gender equality in academia and discusses the effects of the respective measures. The project evaluates and critically explores the transformative potential of different approaches and measures promoting gender equality in academia on the level of (inter-)national research funding institutions on the one hand and research institutions on the other. Questions guiding the analysis include:
Which policies and measures are implemented by research funding institutions, universities and research clusters?
How is their potential to promote gender equality in academia assessed by the current state of research?
Which measures and policies have proven effective for all disciplines and levels and where are special measures required to respond to specific disciplinary orinstitutional settings?
This literature review is mandated by the Gender Equality Commission (GECo) of the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF. It provides an overview of possible and necessary measures to support women in science. The results may serve as a basis for future equality measures in the development of funding policies and instruments.

Multi-Level State Interventions and Gender Equality in Higher Education Institutions: The Irish Case
Autor*in:
O’Connor, Pat; Irvine, Gemma
Quelle: Administrative Sciences, 10 (2020) 4, 98 S
Details
Inhalt: Much of the work on gender equality in higher educational institutions (HEIs) has concentrated on the organizational level. The original contribution of this article lies in its focus on state policy developments and interventions. We focus on Ireland as a specific national context, highlighting multi-level state interventions and looking at their impact on HEIs. Using secondary data analysis (including documentary analysis) and focusing particularly on the period since 2014, state initiatives to tackle the problem of gender inequality from various angles are outlined. They include the introduction of Athena SWAN; the Expert Group Review; the Gender Equality Taskforce; the Senior Academic Leadership Initiative; research funding agency initiatives and those around sexual harassment. In evaluating their impact, we look at the gender pay gap, the gender profile of the professoriate and senior management as well as other indicators of cultural change in HEIs. The article concludes that the best possibility of leveraging change arises when it is driven at the state (macro); the HEI (meso) and the situational (micro) level simultaneously, by gender competent leaders willing to tackle the historically male dominated, masculinist criteria, procedures, processes and micropolitical practices that are "normalized" in HEIs.

Benchmarking analysis of monitoring/evaluation of GEPs - Deliverable 6.1
Autor*in:
Knapińska, Anna; Chrobak-Tatar, Magdalena
Quelle: GENDERACTIONplus; , 2023.
Details
Inhalt: The fourth benchmarking analysis conducted by GENDERACTOINplus depicts the current landscape for GEP requirements in R&I at national/regional level. It provides an overview of the overall policy framework on GEP requirements concerning ERA stakeholders and presents relevant policy developments, mainly targeting national authorities.
The results of the survey conducted among 15 national authorities indicate that in the majority of the countries/regions assessed, GEPs are obligatory, primarily for public sector entities. The presence or absence of national requirements for GEPs underscores the ongoing disparity between Member States (MS) that joined the EU before and after 2004. For Member States that joined after 2004, Research Funding Organizations can play a significant role in establishing favorable conditions for the development of GEPs.
Furthermore, the Horizon Europe GEP eligibility criterion has been demonstrated to have made noticeable impact on the national gender equality activities in R&I. It is substantiated by the increase in approved GEPs in R&I institutions, the organisation of workshops and trainings on GEPs, dedication of resources for gender equality work and an increase in requests addressed to the National Contact Points (e.g., queries in relation to GEP elaboration or EC requirements).

Inhalt: Nach über zwei Jahrzehnten Bemühungen um Gleichstellung an Schweizer Hochschulen ist die Wissenschaft weiterhin durch eine starke vertikale und horizontale Segregation geprägt. Dies führt zu einer markanten Unterrepräsentation von Frauen, insbesondere in der Schweizer „Spitzenforschung“. Am Beispiel eines Nationalen Forschungsschwerpunkts (NFS) zeigen wir, inwiefern eine ambivalente Verbindung von Gleichstellungs- und Exzellenzdiskursen die Hegemonie der Männlichkeit reproduziert. Um diese vergeschlechtlichten Normen thematisier- und veränderbar zu machen, erscheint eine Ergänzung bisheriger Gleichstellungsbemühungen um das Konzept der Inclusion vielversprechend.

Inhalt: tResearch, development, and innovation (RDI) are often carried out in public funded, multidisciplinary projects, which can be defined as complex. RDI projects depend on and involve various stakeholders that shape the framework conditions or are part of the project consortia. Unsurprisingly, the perceptions of stakeholders regarding, for example, the relevance of team diversity, and to which extent and how leaders should be made accountable for collaborative practices will differ. In this paper we provide a novel framework applying complexity research to identify challenges in RDI projects that impact the implementation of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). We thereby refer to equality in line with the European strategy towards gender equality andto inclusion as theattempt of actively involving and welcoming individuals and groups who may have been traditionally excluded or marginalised. We conclude with suggestions for three different types of involved organisations: research funding organisations (RFOs), research performing organisations (RPOs) and project consortia (PC). Framework and recommendations are reflected in the context of practical experiences made within the Human Brain Project (HBP) and are opened for further contributionsby colleagues who are interested to share their experiences

Inhalt: Key messages: Gender equity in research can contribute to social progress, scientific workforce sustainability, and the quality of science. Research funders can be critical actors in advancing gender equity through policy interventions and funding incentives.

Inhalt: 
Der Bericht fasst die Entwicklung seit dem ersten Bericht "Förderung von Frauen im Bereich der Wissenschaft" im Jahre 1989 zusammen und bewertet die Umsetzung der in diesen sowie in den vier Folgeberichten gegebenen Empfehlungen für Hochschulen und außeruniversitäre Forschungseinrichtungen; er konzentriert sich auf die wesentlichen strukturellen Veränderungen. Die Umsetzung der bisher empfohlenen und eingeleiteten Maßnahmen ist von der BLK-Geschäftsstelle 1999 im Rahmen zweier Umfragen erhoben worden; eine Übersicht über die Ergebnisse dieser Umfragen bei den Ländern, bei den außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen und bei der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft sowie jeweils eine bewertende Zusammenfassung dazu sind im Anhang 2 enthalten. Die Tabellen im Anhang 1 informieren über die Frauenanteile: 1. bei Bewerbungen, Platzierungen, Ernennungen und Berufungen auf Hochschulprofessuren; 2. bei Positionen der Hochschulleitung; 3. bei Promotionen und Habilitationen; 4. beim Personal und bei Führungspositionen der außerhochschulischen Forschungseinrichtungen; 5. in Aufsichtsgremien der Hermann-Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren. Der Zeitraum umfasst die Jahre 1992, 1995 und 1998. (IAB2)
