First European Gender Summit
The first European Gender Summit is being held in the SQUARE – Brussels Meeting Centre on 8-9 November 2011. The summit will provide an arena for the discussion of how gender is viewed in the culture of research and innovation, and what potential changes could be made in this field.
The summit will also see the publishing of the Public Consultation on the Future of Gender and Innovation in Europe – which is hoped will create a better understanding of how Europe might benefit from a more effective mainstreaming of the gender dimension in research, innovation and scientific systems.
The event is being held under the auspices of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, with support from the Science and Society Programme of the European Commission. The organisers of the event are the European Cooperation in Science and Technology, the European Science Foundation and genSET.
