Completed activities
Gender
The Nordic region is the European leader in gender equality, but when it comes to leadership positions in research and innovation, men dominate just as widely here as in the rest of Europe. Through new and innovative, yet focused and result-oriented activities, this joint Nordic initiative sought to make a significant contribution to gender issues on the research and innovation agenda. The aim of the initiative was to pinpoint the reason for why the research and innovation area has not followed the trend towards a gender equal society and to identify the measures needed to remedy this.
