The Gender in Research Toolkit strives to promote gender equality and excellence in scientific research by facilitating the participation of women scientists, promoting equal opportunities for women and men and integrating the gender dimension into research content in all research areas. It aims to: 

  • raise awareness of gender in research among actors in the implementation of FP7;
  • provide practical guidance and suggestions on increasing female participation in EU-funded research;
  • offer guidance on  integrating the gender/sex dimension in research content; and 
  • strengthening participants’ advocacy and argumentation skills.

It addresses research in nine broad fields: health; ​ food, agriculture and biotechnology; energy; the environment; nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials, new production technologies; ​socio-economic science and humanities; science; transport; and international cooperation ​

The toolkit is also available in Spanish.
