Registration via email: [email protected] ! ! Gender, research and innovation have been flagged as vital dimensions in recent European Research strategies. Also in the current Horizon 2020 program where gender is seen as an important cross cutting issue. Using gender as a category of analysis or as part of innovation projects is regarded as a way to increase the quality and excellence of research as well as market possibilities. The Horizon 2020 program is now in its second term of working programs and calls are !increasingly asking for the integration of gender in the project proposals. This workshop will focus on the current processes of integrating gender dimensions in projects and procedures of the Horizon 2020. What are the experiences so far and what are the new steps to be taken? The workshop will address both future project partners and project consultants and advisers. What are the specific potentials and challenges of using sex-gender in planned projects? How are consistency practiced and assured in assessments processes? And what competences are needed among project partners and advisers? This workshop will provide a forum of knowledge exchange between different stakeholders. The aim is to exchange information and create a dialogue between representatives from the EU Commission, EU gender experts, and a variety of Danish researchers and policy officers. How can synergy of project and procedures between national/Danish and EU !councils and advisory units bee improved and advanced? Talks and comments by representatives from the EU Commission and members of the cross cutting advisory group of Gender ( EU /AG) as well as by Danish experts. The workshop is open for EU policy officers and for interested researchers, experts and EU consultancies. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Programme ! ! 13.30 - 13.40: Welcome Kim Brinckmann, Vice Director, Research and Innovation,
