The Toolkit and Training is divided into three parts:
- Part 1: an overall introduction to gender in research
- Part 2: how to make research gender sensitive (includes a checklist)
- Part 3: gender in nine specific research fields (health, environment, science in society, etc.)
Parts 1 and 2 provide an overview of how the gender dimension can be integrated into a research project, while in Part 3, real-life examples and useful references illustrate how planned research can be made gender sensitive.
Though the Toolkit and Training follows FP7 guidelines on gender, its contents can be easily adapted to the specifications of other programmes (e.g., Horizon 2020, national programmes). Of course, the budget and time needed to apply Toolkit and Training suggestions will be highly context dependent.
The Gender in EU-funded Research project concluded in 2012. During the project, several training sessions were conducted, but no material about these sessions is available online.
