Objective: Gender issues need to be integral and not supplemental both to scientific research cultures and to the knowledge provided by research teaching curricula.
Gender equality and diversity in research teams is crucial for RPOs (Research Performing Organisations) to maximise their research effectiveness.
Every gender aspect of research programmes is dealt with in the perspective of enhancing the reliability of research output.
Strongly aligned with European Research Area Communication key priority, the aim of PLOTINA is to foster excellence and promote social values in innovation an research by:
- Strengthening women’s unused talents
- Ensuring a diversification of views and approaches – taking into account gender dimensions – in research
The key challenges are defined by two areas of intervention:
- The achievement of systemic changes at the institutional level (human resources)
- The revision of research programmes through inclusion of gendered dimensions (gender-aware science)
