Abstract:
The European Council highlighted gender equality as a domain requiring priority actions to be developed and implemented through the European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda and the Pact for Research and Innovation in Europe (Pact for R&I). The Pact for R&I underscores gender equality as a core Union value, and identifies gender equality and equal opportunities as an important element of the common principles and values that act as the foundation for research and innovation in the Union. The Declaration presents the following six key priorities and activities for the new ERA: Ensure fair, open, inclusive and gender equal career paths in research, and consider intersectional perspectives on gender inequalities; Facilitate mutual learning opportunities through form-follows-function robust governance; Employ existing and newly developed tools, such as Gender Equality Plans, to facilitate systemic institutional change and remove institutional barriers. Address and counteract gender-based violence; including root causes and tackling obsolete power dynamics within research and academia. Support active and participative monitoring and evaluation to ensure continuous improvement; and Leverage synergies to enhance gender equality achievements within the European Research Area, but also within complementary fields such as the European Higher Education Area, structural funds, innovation, as well as in international cooperation
