4.2: Research Council
Gender equality as a component of Research Council activity Other Information:
Besides bearing national responsibility for research policy-related activities to analyse and develop women's and gender research
and gender equality in research, the Research Council is also responsible for initiating, implementing and monitoring research
activities within this field. In 2007 the Research Council adopted a new policy for gender equality and gender perspectives
in research. An action plan for further efforts has also been drawn up. Gender perspectives are to be integrated into all
research activity funded by the Research Council. The Research Council seeks to create a framework for increasing the recruitment
of women to subjects with a low percentage of women and develop initiatives to boost the proportion of women in tenured academic
positions. A number of activities related to gender research have been integrated in the Research Programme on Gender Research.
