Gender Sensitive Research Training

Please have a look at the clip above "What’s wrong with sex/gender blind research?" before the training in order to be perfectly prepared.

Gender aspects in research - what exactly does that mean?This is not about the classic equality issues and gender balance in a subject area, but in fact about the relevance of sex/gender in research content. This has long been an issue in medical research, but there are many other examples to be explored.

This workshop aims to train the research supporting staff of University Jena to become more aware of the benefits of gender sensitive research. It deals with the question how to best support scientists who are interested in doing gender sensitive research.
