Sex and Gender in Research Post 1

Social Media Series - Sex and Gender Dimensions in Research Projects

The inclusion of the sex/gender dimension means that differences, whether biological or social, are taken into account in research and teaching. It is therefore crucial that the knowledge that is created through research and transferred through education is free of gender bias. The integration of the gender dimension addresses the incorporation of sex and/or gender analysis through the entire Research & Innovation cycle.

In this new social media series we are introducing various facets of the gender and sex dimension.
