Gender equality in research and innovation
Because of the peculiarities of the research and innovation sector, specific action is needed to overcome persisting gender gaps and inequalities. Many structural barriers to gender equality in research and innovation persist. The European Commission addresses these barriers through: the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation: Horizon Europe (2021-2027) and previously Horizon 2020 (2014-2020); within the European Research Area in collaboration with Member States, associated countries and research stakeholders.
