Gender Summit 4 - Europe 2014, From Ideas to Markets: Excellence in mainstreaming gender into research, innovation, and policy
The GS4 - Europe will, again, bring together experts from research, industry and policy to jointly establish practical and effective ways of improving quality and impact of research and innovation through the inclusion of gender in science knowledge making and application. The GS4 - Europe will focus on strategies, tools, and processes that promote the concrete integration of the gender dimension into the European Commission's current Horizon 2020, and European Research Area programmes. The Summit will focus on the cross-cutting role of gender and how gender has been and should be integrated within some of the major themes of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme, such as personalised health, water resources, energy, environment, transportation. Speakers and participants will examine the latest research evidence and showcase studies and projects, organisations and strategies that have significantly improved research and innovation quality by integrating the gender dimension into research design and process. The GS4 will expand on the body of the research evidence introduced in previous summit events by highlighting recent developments of relevance to the impacts anticipated in the Horizon 2020 programme themes.
Registration for the event will open on March1st.
Call for Abstracts is open, closing on March 30th.

Themes
-
Improving quality of research and innovation content, process and practice
-
Enhancing efficacy and socio-economic impact of research and innovation
-
Ensuring effectiveness of research and innovation policy
-
Securing efficient R&D human capital
The subjects and topics for the programme of the European Gender Summit 2014 are grounded by the grand challenges identified in the EC Europe 2020 strategy, i.e. health, ageing, energy, environment, climate change, but also the more specific topical objectives of HORIZON 2020, such as food security, more efficient transport, emerging bio, ICT and nano technologies, advanced manufacturing and processing, and contribution to economic growth. Gender in these contexts, and other research topics, will be explored during the Summit under these four major themes.
Tracks
The programme is focused on new studies, methods and tools that can help analyse and understand the gender dimension and dynamics as research variables and as components of individual, collective and institutional conditions determining behaviour.
The major tracks are:
- Health, demographic change, wellbeing, aging changing nature if work
- Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime systems, nutrition, and the bio-economy
- Secure, clean and efficient energy, including energy use
- Smart, green and integrated transport (urban and rural), including changing transport use
- Climate change, resource efficiency and use, environmental issues
- Inclusive, innovative, secure societies, including cultures, and coping strategies in emergencies and disasters
- Emerging and enabling technologies, including human need, social innovation, and innovation process
- Any other research and innovation where consideration of gender issues contributes to efficacy of knowledge.
