EuChemS attended an important conference on the future of gender equality in European research and innovation on 11 April 2019, organised by Gender Action, an EU supported project. Speakers provided both an overview of the current state of affairs as well as concrete examples of how gender bias, discrimination and unequal opportunities can be addressed in universities, research institutions, and projects. A core focus of the conference was how to ensure that the future EU research framework programme, Horizon Europe can ensure that proper integration of gender mainstreaming is incorporated.
