From Beijing to Brussels: pathways to the integration of gender in research and development (IGIRD)
Abstract This article offers a first consolidated historical account of the institutionalisation of the Integration of Gender in Research and Development (IGiRD). We use IGiRD as an analytical umbrella term for policies, instruments and research practices that integrate sex and gender analysis into the content, design, evaluation and governance of research and development.
How India could benefit from women's intellectual capital
India's scientific and cultural histories have often overlooked the intellectual contributions of women. In a century defined by innovation, that imbalance is increasingly out of step. The last 20 years have seen the creation of numerous schemes in India to attract and support women in scientific research. What is needed, however, is fewer, better and more sustainably funded programmes of institutional change, not for 3 years but for 15 or longer.

Why gender in research is critical to India's science and society
To consider gender in research is to ask whether women and men participate equally in knowledge-making and whether outcomes serve them equally well. Evidence shows that women are underrepresented as both researchers and subjects and research outcomes often fall short for them. Long considered gender neutral, science, in practice, has often been gender blind. The repercussions of gender-blind research means that science today has more evidence on males and men than on females and women.
Why we need gender equality in big science – Physics World
Elizabeth Pollitzer says measures must be taken to tackle the gender imbalance among staff and users of large research infrastructures Investments in “big-science” projects, whether it’s the next particle collider or a new synchrotron, are often justified in terms of the benefits for science, such as the discovery of a new particle or the opening of a new vista on the cosmos.
The Significance of Gender for Scientific Research and its Outcomes
Redressing current gender imbalances Efforts to increase the numbers of women going into STEM at undergraduate and doctoral levels have not translated into an equal or equitable representation of women in senior STEM positions. There is a limit to how much feeding the pipeline of female students into STEM subjects and providing targeted support to individuals can redress current gender imbalances.
Are female science leaders judged more harshly than men? Study it
CORRESPONDENCE 07 December 2021 The open letter from 145 leading female scientists calling on Germany’s Max Planck Society to identify and address issues that might have contributed to the sanctioning or downgrading of highly successful female directors (see Nature 600, 20; 2021) raises an important question. Are there systemic biases at play in many such institutions that affect even those women who make it to the end of the leaky pipeline?

How to correct the gender bias in medical knowledge
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men and women; it kills more women in the US than all forms of cancer combined.
Will the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’ be gender-blind?
The “Fourth Industrial Revolution” is a vision of a future promoted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in which cyber-physical systems technologies control and transform how people interact with information and the physical world around them.The WEF vision promises large-scale socioeconomic benefits — in healthcare, manufacturing, energy, transport — achieved by creating new markets and new business models and values from advances in manufacturing and digital technologies.
Gender in science: “an initiative for change”
Every year since 2011, women – and a small but growing number of men – journey to a Gender Summit in some region of the world. The last was in Brussels; this year’s will be in Tokyo and Montreal.
