Gender balance in research organizations is considered as a key step for ensuring research excellence and quality and inclusive-sustainable innovation. ERA (European Research Aerea) objectives have stressed the importance of gender equality in research, at the three levels of fostering equality in scientific careers, achieving gender balance in decision making and integrating a gender dimension in scientific research content. Still, in spite of an increasing number of Higher Education and research institutions committed to make science more equal and some slow but positive trends in figures on Gender equality in STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering) research (She Figures, 2018), it still appears to be difficult to prioritize gender equality. This is particularly true for disciplines such as ICT (Information Communication Technologies) and IST (Information Systems Studies) where female representation at all levels is among the lowest ones among STEM topics and where a gender sensitive approach to ICT design and to programming is far from being understood in its implications among computer and information systems scientists. After the policies initiated during the late ’90s to address these problems which were mostly informed by a ‘fixing the women’ approach, the concept of institutional change for gender equality has gained momentum. By merging change management and gender equality policies, the focus shifted to changing the institutions themselves, promoting the use of encompassing measures such as GEPs (Gender Equality Plans), able to cover a variety of actions in response to multifaceted challenges: several research projects have been funded by the European Union in this field in the last 2 programming periods starting from FP7 already and continuing with H2020. This volume stems as an unforeseen output from one of those projects, namely EQUAL-IST (2017-2019), where a consortium of ICT/IST Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) has joined forces to use gender equality as a leverage to influence, innovate and transform Human Resources management, academic governance processes, institutional communication, research design, as well as teaching & services to students. Ca’ Foscari University and the Department of Informatics, Environmental Sciences and Statistics being an active promoter of gender equality in ICT since several years already, has taken the role of supporting institution in EQUAL-IST, guiding all partner Universities in building internal capacity on gender equality policies, and ensuring that Gender Equality Plans were designed and implemented in a comprehensive, consistent and sustainable way. By the end of the project, and having accomplished all the reports and tools planned as part of the EQUAL-IST workplan, we have come to the conclusion that creating a legacy for EQUAL-IST by way of a comprehensive volume could serve a twofold purpose: on one side, we identified writing as a way to further enhancing reflexivity internally to the consortium on accomplishments, limits, encountered resistances. On the other hand, the mere fact of collecting, distilling and systematizing main results in one single Open Access volume, was thought to be the best option for dissemination purposes. We believe this can be an useful reading in particular for all those Universities and Research Organizations in the ICT/IST disciplines and beyond, that will engage themselves in similar initiatives in the future

ABSTRACT: The following article summarizes the meta-analysis of policies towards gender equality in science and research across Europe spanning the years 1980 to 2008. Observed overarching trends in the research literature are summarized, including the impact of higher education restructuring on gender equality in science and research and measures for advancing women's science careers.
Gender balance in research organizations is considered as a key step for ensuring research excellence and quality and inclusive-sustainable innovation. Still, in spite of an increasing number of HE and research institutions committed to make science more equal and some positive trends in figures on Gender equality in STEM research, it still appears to be difficult to prioritize gender equality. This is particularly true for disciplines such as ICT/IST where female representation at all levels is among the lowest ones among STEM topics and where a gender sensitive approach to ICT design and programming is far from being understood in its implications among computer and information systems scientist. H2020 (PGERI and SWAFS programmes in particular), promoted the concept of institutional change for gender equality, insisting on the need for merging change management and gender policies. The volume is focusing on a presentation and reflexive review of results and tools from the H2020 EQ...
The report forms part of the overall effort to produce a meta-analysis of gender and science research across Europe (FP7 RTD–PP–L4–2007–1). Its objective is to analyse national, regional and local policies, measures and programmes towards gender equality in science and research covering the period from 1980 to 2008. The available literature classified under “Policies towards gender quality in research” (1,296 entries) in the Gender and Science Database (GSD) was revised and grouped according to three main thematic priorities: (1) measures towards advancing women’s science careers; (2) science management and reform, and (3) gender dimension in research and higher education. In general terms, an unequal distribution of the research literature was observed. There is a relative abundance of positional statements, conceptual clarifications, and ecommendations dealing with gender issues in science and research across most participating countries. Equally, there is a relatively large body documenting the vertical and horizontal segregation of women in relation to men in science and research. However, there are comparatively fewer systematic evaluations of policy measures. Geographically, most evaluation and accompanying research of implemented measures is found in the three continental countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The following article summarizes the meta-analysis of policies towards gender equality in science and research across Europe spanning the years 1980 to 2008. Observed overarching trends in the research literature are summarized, including the impact of higher education restructuring on gender equality in science and research and measures for advancing women's science careers. The article closes by stressing three key challenges: first, the integration of gender policy assessment with theories of social change; second, the gendering of innovation policy; and third, re-addressing the question of power and political struggle in relation to policy.

Horizon 2020: interpretation of the "gender dimension" and promotion of gender equality in Higher Education2016 •
Referring to the EU call for proposals under H2020, the paper analyses the current state of the art and proposes strategies that could significantly improve the quality of gender-related proposals within a short period of time. These strategies could directly accelerate the process of gender equality both in the research process and in the research content and indirectly also the process of gender mainstreaming.
In 2010, in the EU-27, women account for 46% of those who achieve the title of doctor of research, but only 32% of scientists and engineers were women, and women represented only 44% of grade C academic staff, 37% of grade B academic staff, and 20% of grade A academic staff . In the past two decades, various initiatives have been developed to promote greater gender equality in research. However, the results have been extremely limited and have not overcome discriminatory structural and cultural barriers. Inequalities are produced and maintained in many different, often invisible, aspects of organisations, consolidating an inequality regime in the scientific and academic workplace. With the aim of challenging inequalities within organisations, the DirectorateGeneral for Research and Innovation of the European Commission has established a specific funding line in the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development (FP7), which supports projects promoting structural changes in scientific organisations in order to foster gender equality. These Guidelines, which are the result of the activity of one of the first projects to be funded under this line, present a set of tools to enforce efficient gender management to implement structural and institutional changes in research organisations, based on the experiences of the Genis Lab project.

The institutionalisation of equality policy in science, both at the national and the European scale, should facilitate progress towards equality in a space that wants to consider itself merit (and ability) driven. But discriminatory practices, both conscious and unconscious, direct or indirect, leave women out of many of the positions that they should occupy according to their accomplishments and capabilities. Many scientific institutions and their professionals still do not understand that if gender equality is only formally achieved and actual compliance is not monitored, they will lose part of the talent they are trying to cultivate
Organizational culture
Organizational culture2021 •
Organizational culture describes the manner in which employees complete their work and how they interact to one another within the organization. Every organization has their own culture based on the values, belief, laws and regulation, procedures, ideologies and knowledge. (Santos et al, 2014) defines culture as "pattern of development reflected in a society's system of knowledge, ideology, values, laws and day-today rituals". The connection between the
