  1. ENWISE Valorisation ConferenceTallin, September 9-10, 2004 Societal Significance of Gender Research Elżbieta H. Oleksy, University of Łódź

  2. Women and Science Unit became a crucial platform for furthering: • participation of women in EU research programmes at all levels, • full integration of gender perspectives in EU research. The formula adopted by Women and Science Unit: GE (gender equality) = GD (gender dimension) + WP (women’sparticipation)

  3. Two parallel sets of activities initiated by Women and Science Unit: • Evaluation of the situation of women scientists in the Eu and in the Enwise countries • Helsinki Group Report,National Policies on Women and Science in the European Union. A Report about Women and Science in 30 European Countries, Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2002, • Enwise Group Report, Waste of Talents: Turning Private Struggles into a Public Issue. Women and Science in the Enwise Countries, Brussels: The European Commission, 2003; • Gender Impact Assessment Studies • Gender and Research Conference, Brussels, November 8-9, 2001; • Gender Impact Assessment Studies Report, Brussels: The European Commission, 2002.

  4. 3.7. Improving the Human Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base (assessed by Mary Braithwaite, TACITUS) Two main concepts: • gender • gender differences • gender inequalities • gendered structures • gendered concepts; • gender mainstreaming • principle of participation of women and men • the diversity aspect • reducing inequalities between women and men.

  5. 3.7.Improving the Human Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base (assessed by Mary Braithwaite, TACITUS) The findings: • significant progress made in improving participation of women, • success rates 10% higher for men than women, • “conceptual silences” (widespread and uncritical use of universal research categories), • socio-economic research can be gender blind: only 17% projects were gender-integrated; 8% were gender-specific. Conclusion:The majority of projects under the IHP Programme did not contribute to the understanding of the gender dimension itself.
