Knowledge sharing is important to us, and put efforts in transferring the results of our action-research projects in publications, often co-authored with our partners. This way, we maximize the impact of our work and contribute to:
Undertaking the scientific leadership of the H2020 EQUAL-IST project first, and the ongoing H2020 CALIPER project, we have been and are supporting 15 Research Organizations (mostly ICT/STEM) to design and implement Gender Equality Plans with an innovative methodology aimed at promoting synergies between RPOs/RFOs and their respective innovation ecosystems.
We have included new indicators for assessing gender inequalities in areas such as research transfer to market, patenting and spin-off creation, science communication, third-mission.
Also in this case, we rely on a “gender+” approach to grasp and address intersectional complexity of structural inequalities, along class, race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation etc.
From our work in the GE Academy project, we have created an e-learning platform hosting free-access courses on these topics that are still available for registration”.
We have researched, practiced and published on inclusive urban innovation ecosystems as well, and the
importance of merging and cross-fertilizing digital/technological and social innovation for addressing environmental and societal challenges.
Our participation to the URBACT gender Equal Cities Network, to the European Smart Cities Innovation Partnership/Market Place and the Horizon 2020 project “Families Share” have been fundamental to develop
our practices and contribute to knowledge generation and sharing
Social Innovation is not gender sensitive and inclusive per se In the FP7 SeiSMIC project (Societal Engagement in Science, Mutual learning in Cities) our Research Director has accompanied national networks of social innovators to make them gender and diversity sensitive both in terms of the contents of specific actions and as far as the engagement processes and their management.
Start up ecosystems and incubators/accelerators can and should take gender+ into account In the Horizon 2020 WeHubs project our Research Director has conducted research on female digital entrepreneurs and their support needs, transferring results from an EU level survey into the design of a score-board targeting business incubators and other support organizations aimed at engendering their service design and delivery.
