The course is promoted by the per Office for Gender Equality of the University of A Coruña, with the aim of training research staff on what the gender perspective is and how to introduce it in a transversal way in research.

    The course is structured in three sessions of 4 hours each and has been designed based on a didactic combination of online format and participatory methodologies based on the exchange of knowledge and co-creation, so that the training material combines the theoretical modules with the systematisation of the practical work carried out by the groups.

    2. Tools to advance equality in science and innovation. Gender perspective in teams. Gender perspective in research. Issues of form (e.g. inclusive language) and issues of content.

    3. How to incorporate a gender perspective in research. Review of formats and calls for proposals. Practical keys to mainstreaming gender in the project cycle / research cycle. Examples of good practices in STEM areas. Recommendations for each stage of the research cycle (idea phase, proposal phase, research phase, dissemination phase).
