Despite decades of gender equality interventions and a steadily increasing number of women in the STI fields, R&I content is still primarily not reflecting intersectional gender dimensions. One of the reasons for this is the lack of awareness and competencies of research and innovation leaders such as R&I managers, team leaders, or prominent scientists to include intersectional gender dimension into research and innovation content.

Actions to be implemented

To explore these issues, the prototype will develop a series of workshops and training that enhance the capacity-building for R&I leaders on the integration of intersectional gender dimensions in R&I content. Findings could be published as a research paper and

disseminated as blog posts and awareness-raising campaigns. Based on the findings, a checklist and other institutional tools and guidance could be developed that help address the gender bias in RDI content.
