- Description
- The first strategy consists of making science and technology (and, more concretely, research institutions) an enabling environment for women’s progression and working life. The second strategy aims to include the gender dimension in the very process of research and innovation designing. The third strategy consists of promoting women in scientific leadership positions. On the whole, the guidelines contain 31 recommendations for implementing the three strategies, along with 61 lines of action. In turn, the lines of action are accompanied by 219 examples drawn from the experience of gender equality programmes. For each example, at least one web address is provided in order to allow direct access to relevant information sources.
