‘Cautious optimism’ for the gender dimension in European Research, Development and Innovation

Political commitment and continued attention to the implementation of relevant policy is key in ensuring gender is consistently mainstreamed across different levels. The strengthened gender provisions in Horizon Europe must be closely monitored to determine their overall impact. Swift action is needed in institutional strategies to improve gender balance and every research domain should thoroughly consider its relation to gender. These were some of the key points raised during the webinar on the gender dimension in European Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I), jointly organized by Neth-ER and TNO on September 2nd, 2021.
