The GENDER-NET ERA-NET is a pilot transnational research policy initiative funded by the European Commission under the Science in Society work programme of the 7th Framework Programme, designed to address the common challenges still facing European countries and their research institutions in achieving gender equality in research and innovation.
In an effort to reduce fragmentation across the European Research Area, the GENDER-NET partners have joined forces to carry out assessments of existing national/regional initiatives, define priority areas for transnational collaboration accordingly, and implement a selection of strategic joint activities.
By providing a strategic networking and cooperation framework for national/regional actors developing and implementing public research programmes and policies, the GENDER-NET ERA-NET scheme’s main objective is to help reach a critical mass of ministries, research funders, universities and research institutions across Europe engaging in gender equality initiatives and fostering the integration of sex and gender analysis in research contents.
