| dc.description.abstract | Despite significant progress over the last decades, gender inequality still remains a prominent issue in the EU. Published to mark International Women’s Day 2022, this Results Pack seeks to raise awareness of the importance of a gender perspective in research and innovation. Promoting gender equality and women’s better representation in our European society is a longstanding commitment of the European Commission. Yet structural and individual barriers remain that significantly impact on the health, wealth and happiness of both women and men in Europe. This Pack highlights six ERC-funded frontier research projects on gender equality in addition to three successful EU-supported actions to further gender equality in research. Projects in this Pack cover a wide array of gender aspects in research, including a gendered understanding of law, individual and structural drivers of gender disparity, gender biases in education, employment and healthcare, and tools to support the development and deployment of Gender Equality Plans, as well as national-level policy coordination on gender equality in the European Research Area. | en_US |
