About the first European Gender
Summit

Knowledge
and innovation are key drivers for sustainable growth and prosperity in Europe.
Extensive research has demonstrated that the quality of research and development
benefits significantly from adding gender as a critical success factor. The
first European Gender Summit will network key players from all sectors to
initiate the much-needed changes in the culture of research and innovation.
Joint discussions will produce the first ever collective agreement on policy
development on gender for innovation, the policy manifesto on "Integrated Action
on the Gender Dimension in Research."

A High Level European Initiative

European Gender Summit is held under the auspices of the Polish Presidency of the
