UAIC Research Group on Gender Equality in Science is a multidisciplinary research team set up within the frame of the STAGES project in order to conduct scientific studies and evaluations on Gender Equal Opportunities in Romanian educational and research institutions, particularly at the UAIC (see the main objectives, research group members, research and publications).
Since 2013, "Gender Equality in Science" is a theme for PhD studies at the UAIC. Prof. dr. Doina Balahur, scientific coordinator for PhD in Sociology, announced the topics and the bibliography for 2014 candidates competition. As for 2013, the research will be carried out in cooperation with the FP7 European project STAGES at the UAIC. (more info here).
A new edition of the course on “Gender and Science: Interdisciplinary perspectives on sex and gender” has been jointly organized by the UAIC-STAGES project and the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Political Sciences. This thematic series has been initiated last year by Prof. Dr. Doina Balahur and it is also planned to be continued in the doctoral study programme next years. The four hours course presented by Prof. Balahur has given an overview on the interdisciplinary approaches on sex and gender, based on relevant research and studies (as for example, Gendered innovations. How Gender analysis contributes to research, published by European Commission in 2013, and Gendered Research & Innovation, edited by the League of European Research Universities - LERU in 2015) as well as the own experience of the UAIC-STAGES project. The course also introduced the topic of Responsible Research and Innovation and emphasized its main dimensions, including gender implications in the research content, methods and applications, in order to acknowledge and illustrate how relevant is the gender for research and why it should be taken into consideration at any stage of the scientific research, beginning with hypotheses, research design, team building, data collection, analysis and interpretation, and evaluation of the impact. The course has been attended by 16 PhD students in Sociology, Political Sciences and Communication Sciences.
