Monitoring Progress Towards Gender Equality in the 6th Framework Programme

Résumé du livre

"This report presents the results for Sustainable Energy Systems, an area closely related to physics and engineering, which are not only the most male-dominated scientific fields, but also the fields in which the relevance of gender in research content is least evident. However, EU-funded research on sustainable energy reflects a rising concern about the relationship between energy and environment and has led to a greater focus on the role of energy consumers, social and economic factors in technology adoption, and impacts on people. The emphasis on these aspects opens up the opportunity to integrate gender issues in research content. The study has found good examples of research projects in which the integration of the gender dimension has clearly enhanced scientific excellence."--Editor.
