The Gender STI project analyses the participation of women in STI between Europe and third countries and studies how gender equality is considered and promoted in international cooperation dialogues between European Union Member States, Associated Countries and 10 selected third countries.

The Co-Design Lab workshops aim to identify key issues in three areas, gender equality in scientific careers, gender balance in decision making bodies and positions; and integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, developing potential solutions using design thinking and online facilitated processes in order to be promoted in international dialogues implemented through bilateral and multilateral agreements. Participants will discuss opportunities in their country or institution; and co-design potential solutions that can be implemented to foment greater equality in these areas in the weeks, months, and years ahead. Input from participants in each challenge will contribute to a roadmap with recommendations that will be presented to the European Commission and shared with other decision makers from different countries interested in gender equality.
