IRPPS, through the “H2020 MINDtheGEPs” project, is launching a competition for the CNR scientific network for three prizes of €1,500 (one thousand five hundred) each for the best products (articles, proceedings, protocols, etc.) that have significantly contributed to scientific innovation by integrating a gender perspective into research questions, design, and results.

The objective of the competition is to promote the so-called gendered innovations, an approach that uses methods of analysis of sex, gender, and intersectionality variables to create new scientific knowledge, making it rigorous, reproducible, socially relevant, and responsible. This approach can and should be applied to every field of scientific knowledge.

The Award is coordinated by the MINDtheGEPs project research group, which has already promoted several initiatives aimed at implementing gender equality within the CNR.

As part of the competition, three works will be awarded, one for each ERC sector (2021-2022 revision):

– Physical Sciences and Engineering
– Life Sciences
– Social Sciences and Humanities.

The competition is open to CNR researchers, technologists, technicians, and research fellows, both as individuals and as research groups, and concerns works published between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2022.

The deadline is September 25, 2023. To submit your application, write via Certified Email (PEC) to protocollo.irpps@pec.cnr.it.

The evaluation committee was appointed on December 28, 2023. The document is available as an attachment.
