2014 will see the return of the Gender
Summit to Brussels for the Gender Summit 4 - Europe (GS4 - Europe). The GS4 -
Europe will, again, bring together experts from research, industry and policy
to jointly establish practical and effective ways of improving quality and
impact of research and innovation through the inclusion of gender in science
knowledge making and application. The GS4 - Europe will focus on
strategies, tools, and processes that promote the concrete integration of the
gender dimension into the European Commission's current Horizon 2020, and
European Research Area programmes. The Summit will focus on the cross-cutting
role of gender and how gender has been and should be integrated within some of
the major themes of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme, such as personalised
health, water resources, energy, environment, transportation. Speakers
and participants will examine the latest research evidence and showcase studies
and projects, organisations and strategies that have significantly improved
research and innovation quality by integrating the gender dimension into
research design and process. The GS4 will expand on the body of the research
evidence introduced in previous summit events by highlighting recent
developments of relevance to the impacts anticipated in the Horizon 2020
programme themes.
