genSET has created resources for science institutions to help embed gender expertise and knowledge within and across scientific activities. On this page you can download all of the reports published as part of the genSET project, where available, you will find links to references stored on this site (approx 150). We have also collected videos from genSET and other important external resources.
Between March and June 2010, three genSET Consensus Seminars brought together 14 European science leaders to share knowledge and experience and arrive at a consensus view on the gender dimension in science and on the priorities for gender action in scientific institutions. This document contains the Consensus Report of 13 recommendations of the Science Leaders Panel, information on genSET and detail on the Consensus Seminar Process and how this differs from traditional Consensus Conferences.
The Science Leaders Panel were provided with this document before the first Consensus Seminar. The aim of this Briefing Note is to provide a summary compilation of the recent
gender research findings and recommendations as an overview of the wide range
of issues that contribute to the gender dimension in science. The purpose is to
help spark-off the discussion and provide a starting point for reflection.
The Science Leaders Panel were given this Briefing Notes Supplement before the second Consensus Seminar. It provides additional research evidence in support of the themes and questions emerging from the 1st Consensus Seminar. Like the original Briefing Notes, it is meant to foster discussion and reflection, rather than give a comprehensive critical review of the field of research into gender questions within the science knowledge production.
This document provides background information and summaries of current research and policy relevant to the theme of the workshop, Gender Stereotypes and Gendered Attitudes in the Assessment of Women’s Work.
This report provides a details of the Capacity Building Workshop entitled "Gender Stereotypes and Gender Attitudes in the Assessment of Women's Work", held on the 3rd and 4th March 2011. The report provides a practical starting point for replication of the Capacity Building Workshops the theme. You can also find all the participant presentations, organiser talks, example Gender Action Plans and Expert talks on the Workshop Page
This document provides background information and summaries of current research and policy relevant to the theme of the workshop, Advancing Excellence in Science through Gender Equality.
This report provides details of the Capacity Building Workshop entitled "Advancing Excellence in Science through Gender Equality", held on 28th and Tuesday 29th March 2011 at The Tema Institute, Linköping University, Sweden. Along with the practical guidelines contained in the report on convenig a workshop, the presentations from the day are available on the workshop page
This document provides background information and summareis of current research and policy relevant to the theme of the workshop, Advancing RTD through Gender-Fair Recruitment and Retention Strategies
This report provides a documentation of the Capacity Building Workshop “Advancing RTD through Gender-Fair Recruitment and Retention Strategies”, held on 19 – 20 May 2011 at the campus of the University of Vienna. Along with the practical guidelines, reflections and sythesis of key themes that emerged durign the workshop contained in the report, the presentations from the day are available on the workshop page
A special issue of the Interdisciplinary Science Review, "Gender in Science" is available from Maney Publishing. You can read the editorial and Table of Contents here. Contributors to the Special Issue included members of the genSET Science Leaders Panel and genSET Gender Experts. You can preview the content and read the editorial here
On the 8th and 9th of November 2011, the European Gender Summit 2011 (EGS2011) was held in Brussels and attracted over 400 participants. 70 speakers explored the link between gender equality and quality of Research and Innovation and highlighted some of the innovative and successful programmes promoting equality. Mrs Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science and Giles Chichester, Vice-President of the European Parliament and responsible for STOA (Scientific Technology Options Assessment for the European Parliament) gave keynotes via video and you can watch them here. Go to the EGS2011 website to read session descriptions, download the posters displayed, see who attended, read feedback and see photos.
Watch two Science Leaders talk about how gender equality is linked to quality of research and their involvement in genSET
Do we really care about Gender Equality in Science? See Simone Buitendijk and Curt Rice talking on why, as leaders of scientific institutions, they do. Recorded at Women’s World 2011. In this 18 minute video the members of the science leaders panel also highlight the recommendations from the genSET Consensus Report most relevant to their work.
The Gendered Innovations project: 1) develops practical methods of sex and gender analysis for scientists and engineers; 2) provides case studies as concrete illustrations of how sex and gender analysis leads to innovation. It is crucially important to identify gender bias and understand how it operates in science and technology. But analysis cannot stop there: Analyzing sex and gender prospectively can serve as a resource to stimulate new knowledge and technologies. From the start, sex and gender analyses act as “controls” (or filters for bias) to provide excellence in science, health & medicine, and engineering research, policy, and practice.
The Gendered Innovations project was initiated at the Clayman Institute at Stanford University, July 2009. The project entered into a collaboration with the European Commission, January 2011. In addition to drawing experts from across the US, Gendered Innovations now involves experts from the EU 27 Member States.
The goal of the Gendered Innovations project is to provide scientists and engineers with practical methods for sex and gender analysis. To match the global reach of science and technology, methods of sex and gender analysis were developed through international collaborations, as recommended in the 2010 genSET Consensus Report and the United Nations Resolutions related to Gender, Science and Technology passed March 2011.
Sex and Gender Aspects in Clinical Medicine is the first structured textbook in Gendermedicine, based on systematic review of all literature in the major clinical disciplines. It will help to define the field of Gendermedicine well beyond personal research interests.
