EU objectives for gender equality in research

Three objectives underpin the European Commission’s strategy on gender equality in research and innovation policy:    - Fostering equality in scientific careers;    - Ensuring gender balance in decision-making processes and bodies;    - Integrating the gender dimension in research and innovation content, i.e. taking into account the biological characteristics and the social features of women and men. http://eige.europa.eu/gender-mainstreaming/toolkits/gear/objectives-gender-equality-research
