What power dynamics characterize the energy transition? What inequalities might be created or perpetuated within it?

The final conference of the European gEneSys project will provide an opportunity for the scientific community, policymakers, and the general public to discuss these issues.

The six panels will address a wide range of topics explored by the project, such as citizens’ energy consumption patterns, energy poverty, and inequalities within the scientific community and in scientific publications on the topic of the energy transition. A specific panel will be dedicated to education and pedagogy, covering all levels from elementary school through higher education. The conference will conclude with a panel specifically addressing the design of policies to support renewable energy and the transition, with a focus on avoiding the reproduction or creation of new inequalities. There will be several networking opportunities.

The event is open to the public, and you can take part by registering here.

The gEneSys project, coordinated by CNR-IRPPS and running from 2023 to 2026, conceptualizes the energy transition as a socio-technical ecosystem with significant implications for gender issues and other forms of inequality. Participating organizations include:

  • Venice International University (VIU)
  • Imperial (IC)
  • Jagiellonian University (UJ)
  • National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA)
  • Fraunhofer Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Anegenwandten Forschung Ev (IAO)
  • African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS)
  • Portia GGMBH
  • National Research Council (CNR) – Coordinator

]]> Train the Trainers: gender equality training kicks off for eight CNR trainers https://www.irpps.cnr.it/en/train-the-trainers-gender-equality-training-kicks-off-for-eight-cnr-trainers/ Mon, 06 Jun 2022 11:28:17 +0000 https://www.irpps.cnr.it/train-the-trainers-gender-equality-training-kicks-off-for-eight-cnr-trainers/ In Vigo, Spain, from June 6 to 8, several colleagues will begin the training through which they, in turn, will become trainers for the staff of the National Research Council.
In Vigo, Spain, from June 6 to 8, several colleagues will begin the training through which they, in turn, will become trainers for the staff of the National Research Council. Two days of training for various professional profiles and levels who, having responded to an expression of interest, have chosen to become trainers to facilitate cultural change towards greater gender equality in our research institution. Specifically, the training objectives will include promoting equality in scientific careers, monitoring gender balance in decision-making processes and governing bodies, integrating the gender dimension into research and innovation content, as well as implementing the Gender Equality Plan (GEP). The team is composed as follows:

Natalia Brubo (Cnr-Ino, Florence) Claudia Caddeo (Cnr-Iom, Cagliari) Annalisa Delre (Cnr-Ipcf, Bari)

Monica Favaro (Cnr-Icmate, Padua) Martina Mattiazzi (Cnr-Isem, Milan)

Luisa Neri (Cnr-Nano, Modena) Rosaria Puglisi (Cnr-Imm, Catania) Melanie Timpel (Cnr-Imem, Trento)

In Vigo, they will participate in active and participatory workshops where they will compare best practices and experiences in a heterogeneous context with the other 9 European partners of “MINDtheGEPs – Modifying Institutions by Developing Gender Equality Plans“, the European research project aimed at raising awareness of gender inequalities in the world of scientific research and implementing the Gender Equality Plan, which involves the participation of the CNR with a group of researchers from the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (CNR-IRPPS). This will be the first training appointment, and next summer there will be a second one in Belgrade (Serbia). We wish our colleagues the best of luck and thank them for choosing to get involved for everyone!
