RUN-EU is organising an online workshop on ‘Researcher Profiles: Creating and Maintaining Effective Online Presence’ on 14 November 2024.

Since the launch of Horizon Europe, the EU has emphasised the importance of including gender+, EDI and intersectionality perspectives in academic research and teaching.

In many countries around the world, research funding bodies require the use of inclusive strategies when awarding funding.

But what does this mean for those who, like many academics, teach and research in STEM subjects without having received formal training in these areas? Are we in danger of adopting an ‘add gender+ and stir’ approach, or can we adopt strategies that help us to be more inclusive in the way we research and teach?
