Abstract:
Gender equality has been a crosscutting issue in Horizon 2020 with three objectives: gender balance in decision-making, gender balance and equal opportunities in project teams at all levels, and inclusion of the gender dimension in research and innovation content. Between 2017 and 2022, the EU funded, in collaboration with national agencies, 13 transnational projects under "GENDER-NET Plus" that explored how to best integrate both sex and gender into studies ranging from social sciences, humanities, and health research. As the projects neared completion, forty researchers from these interdisciplinary teams met in November 2022 to share experiences, discuss challenges, and consider the best ways forward to incorporate sex and gender in research. Here, we summarize the reflections from this workshop and provide some recommendations for i) how to plan the studies (e.g., how to define sex and/or gender and their dimensions, rationale for the hypotheses, identification of data that can best answer the research question), ii) how to conduct them (e.g., adjust definitions and dimensions, perform pilot studies to ensure proper use of terminology and revise until consensus is achieved), and iii) how to analyze and report the findings being mindful of any real-world impact.
