Article 16 Gender equality

Horizon 2020 shall ensure the effective promotion of

gender equality and the gender dimension in research

and innovation content. Particular attention shall be paid

to ensuring gender balance, subject to the situation in

the field of research and innovation concerned, in

evaluation panels and in bodies such as advisory

groups and expert groups.

The gender dimension shall be adequately integrated

in research and innovation content in strategies,

programmes and projects and followed through at all

stages of the research cycle.

Gender Balance: advisory groups, expert groups, evaluators,….

Gender Dimension: Identify gaps and

opportunities regarding the gender dimension in Open

Science and Open Innovation (OSI).

Gender Balance and Gender Dimension

Excellence of R&I and Efficiency of R&I Systems

Excellence of R&I: Without considering gender analysis in

research and innovation (GRI), the scope, impact and utility of

research results may not be equally valid for both men and

women. (different heart attack symptoms,……)

EC designated over 130 subfields where data show that gender

analysis can benefit research: computer hardware and

architecture to nanotechnology, oceanography, geosciences,

organic chemistry, aeronautics, space medicine, biodiversity,

ecology, biophysics, ………

Efficiency of R&I systems:

A knowledge-based economy with so many challenges to

approach requires the best intelligences, (equally

distributed among men and women). Only use half of the

resources are neither intelligent, nor efficient, nor

competitive, and clearly insufficient. Therefore, it must be

the governments themselves, thinking in the general

interest, the first interested parties, in women assume in

the scientific and technological fields a much more active

role than they currently have.

Barriers

Why are there fewer women in the

history of science than in other fields?

What are the obstacles?

Obstacles:

Dedication (Conciliation)

Prejudices (Google)

Recognition (Novel Prices)

Rosalyn Yalow, Premio Nobel de Fisiologia y

Medicina 1977(Fragmento discurso en la ONU, 1978)

“El esfuerzo más grande hay que ponerlo en el problema

fundamental; en como las mujeres se ven a si mismas y como

los grupos sociales las ven en relación a sus aspiraciones y

capacidades... Tenemos que creer en nosotras mismas o nadie

más creerá en nosotras, tenemos que hacer compatibles

nuestras aspiraciones como la competencia, el coraje y la

determinación por el éxito, y aquellas de nosotras que hemos

tenido la suerte de salir adelante tenemos que asumir la

responsabilidad personal de servir de modelo y de tutoras para

hacer más fácil el camino a las que vienen detrás. No

lucharemos para cambiar de sentido la discriminación sino

simplemente por la igualdad de oportunidades, y si lo

deseamos, lo podremos conseguir”
