GETA – Observatory on GEnder and TAlents

A country’s innovative drive relies on human resources, which are of fundamental importance—if not the primary factor—as both the instrument and the main subject of changing dynamics within that drive. A nation’s competitive advantage is based primarily on the quality of available human capital, especially in the science-research-innovation sector.

Infrastructure and structured support are undoubtedly essential, but the quality of human resources and skills development remains the indispensable element.
It is essential to recognize and enhance areas of greatest capacity and success in order to invest with a reasonable possibility of achieving ever-improving results.
Studies in the field of training and professions for research have been established at CNR-IRPPS for several years, taking the form of activities and projects carried out in cooperation with national, foreign, and international entities. Building on these, the working group operating in the ‘Knowledge Society’ area has been tasked with creating the Observatory on Gender and Talents (GETA), which will continue existing studies and launch new ones with a particular focus on gender issues.

GETA prepares an Annual Report containing updated data and in-depth analysis of one or more themes identified through research and analysis activities.

The Gender and Talents Observatory (GETA) Study Group is composed of IRPPS staff as follows:

Sveva AVVEDUTO (Head), Maria Cristina ANTONUCCI, Maria Carolina BRANDI, Maria Girolama CARUSO, Marco CELLINI, Loredana CERBARA, Cristiana CRESCIMBENE (Head of Technical Secretariat), Ilaria DI TULLIO, Daniela LUZI, Nicolò MARCHESINI, Fabrizio PECORARO, Lucio PISACANE, Serena TAGLIACOZZO.
