Conference Documentation is available Ready for Dialogue. Conference on the Gender Dimension in Science and Research

On 5 November 2012, 120 representatives of national and European associations, research institutions and research funding institutions supporting the integration of the gender dimension in science and research gathered together at the international conference "Ready for Dialogue" which was organized by the Essen College of Gender Research (EKfG) at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany in close cooperation with the European Platform of Women Scientists EPWS as European partner organisation. The participants discussed possibilities to integrate the gender dimension into science and research content in a more binding way and thus, to contribute to an improved use of the knowledge and innovation potential of the gender dimension for scientific impulses for further social changes in this manner.

Central point of discussion was the proposed initiation of a more intensive strategic exchange between the knowledge and action level, implementing, strengthening and developing existing knowledge- and action-oriented approaches in both areas in a more sustainable way and to link both levels to existing synergies. The documentation of the conference contributions is now available in written form in German and English. Both editions can be downloaded from the conference website underneath the section conference documentation.

UNIKATE 41 Gender Research: A look behind the curtain

The contributions of the recent UNIKATE publication show the broad, interdisciplinary and institutional range in which 'sex' and 'gender' are understood as analytical categories of scientific analysis, by involving the faculties of humanities, social sciences, engineering or medicine. The analyses show that 'sex' and 'gender' are not to be understood as one category which comprises all relevant aspects, but that they are intertwined and in interaction with other properties which distinguish human beings, such as socio-economic, ethnic and educational background, societal position, or age.
