Lessons learned from building Africa-EU research and innovation partnerships ...Francois Stepman
Increasing the quantity and quality of the cooperation in research and innovation (R&I) between the EU and Africa will require concerted effort by actors from across sectors, disciplines and regions. In this Policy Brief CAAST-Net Plus shares its proposals
for building enduring partnerships that address global challenges.
Horizon 2020 and the social possibility: a Latvian exampleCristian Ciarrocchi
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.
Technological advances and reduced costs bring many opportunities and challenges for the future de-velopment of higher education. Pan-European Repository of Theses and Dissertations as a rich base for the Pan-European plagiarism detection could be one of these challenges in the era of Open Access, Open Data and Open Science.
Big data impact on society: a research roadmap for Europe (BYTE project resea...Anna Fensel
With its rapid growth and increasing adoption, big data is producing a growing impact in society. Its usage is opening both opportunities such as new business models and economic gains and risks such as privacy violations and discrimination. Europe is in need of a comprehensive strategy to optimise the use of data for a societal benefit and increase the innovation and competitiveness of its productive activities. In this paper, we contribute to the definition of this strategy with a research roadmap that considers the positive and negative externalities associated with big data, maps research and innovation topics in the areas of data management, processing, analytics, protection, visualisation, as well as non-technical topics, to the externalities they can tackle, and provides a time frame to address these topics.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

17. Gender equality as a cross-cutting
issue in Horizon 2020
The promotion of gender equality, including the integration
of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, is
enshrined in the three core documents of Horizon 2020:
Horizon 2020 Regulation (Articles 14 & 16, link)
Rules for participation (link)
Specific Programme implementing Horizon 2020 (link)
18. Horizon 2020 Framework Regulation
Article 16
Gender equality
Horizon 2020 shall ensure the effective promotion of
gender equality and the gender dimension in research
and innovation content. Particular attention shall be paid to
ensuring gender balance, subject to the situation in the field
of research and innovation concerned, in evaluation panels
and in bodies such as advisory groups and expert groups.
The gender dimension shall be adequately integrated in
research and innovation content in strategies,
programmes and projects and followed through at all stages
of the research cycle.

innovation (R&I)
content
20. Gender balance in decision-making
Advisory groups for the European Commission
50% women-men
at least one expert with gender expertise
+ these experts with gender expertise from each AG
also form the Advisory Group on Gender
Evaluation panels and expert groups for the EC
40% under-represented sex taking into account the
situation in the field of the action
21. Gender balance and equal opportunities
in project teams at all levels
From 2014 to Sept 2018, women represent:
42.9% of staff in projects (self-reported, including
non-researchers)
34.2% of Horizon 2020 project coordinators
(based on proposals)
22. What does integrating the gender dimension
in research and innovation content mean?
Taking into account the biological characteristics of both
females and males (sex) and the evolving social and cultural
features of women and men, girls and boys (gender)
Definitions
Sex
refers to biological characteristics of women
and men, boys and girls, in terms of
reproductive organs and functions based on
chromosomal complement and physiology.
As such, sex is globally understood as the
classification of living beings as male and
female, and intersexed.
Gender
refers to the social and cultural
construction of women and men, of
femininity and masculinity, which varies
in time and place, and between
cultures.
23. Why is it important to take the
gender dimension into account?
Integrating the sex and gender analysis in R&I
added value in terms of excellence, creativity, and business
opportunities
helps researchers question gender norms and stereotypes, to
rethink standards and reference models
leads to an in-depth understanding of women and men citizens’
needs, behaviours, attitudes and interests
enhances the societal relevance of the knowledge,
technologies and innovations produced and contributes to the
production of goods and services better suited to potential markets
24. Gendered Innovations
An international Expert Group on
"Gendered Innovations" was
funded under FP7
Developed methods of gender and
sex analysis into R&I content
Case studies on the creative power
of the gender dimension in R&I
(in science, health & medicine,
engineering, environment, etc.)
