The Gender Summit 7 - Europe 2015 invites the contributions of researchers, innovation leaders and other R&I stakeholders on strategies, methodologies and best practice on putting gender equality into action. Abstracts will be selected for inclusion as posters or for presentation in the following sessions:

Parallel 3 : Gender as cross cutting issue in research and innovation

The aim of this session is to demonstrate the importance of considering the gender dimension as primary research variable, and innovation driver in the non-health and non-societal themes of Horizon 2020, i.e. in relation to transport, ICTs, energy, environment, food security, etc.

Parallel 4: Sources and effects of gender bias in career development

This session presents new research and analysis in the area of gender bias with the focus on its impact on science careers of women, men, and/or particular minority groups. This may include investigation of how gender bias manifests itself, impacts on decision-making, influences criteria for advancement, and how it can be challenged and eliminated, etc.

Parallel 5: Scientific inclusion and diversity in science structures and practices

This session presents new research exploring the benefits of scientific inclusion and diversity, e.g. in science workforce, in scientific cultures, in research priorities, and in the application and communication of science knowledge, as drivers of research and innovation ideas.
