SEX VS GENDER

The notion of ‘Sex’ refers to biological characteristics, whereas ‘Gender’ is a social construct and is not necessarily aligned with a person’s sex.
With the Gender Equality Plan (aka GEP), sex and gender are to be taken seriously under Horizon Europe.

SEX AND GENDER IN THE STUDY DESIGN

Beware of a common misunderstanding: the ‘Gender chapter’ (Section 1.2.6 – Sex or Gender Dimension in the standard HEU Part B template) is not about gender balance in the project teams! Here you are expected to explain how your scientific approach is taking into account relevant sex and gender-related behaviours, needs and perceptions.

In this e-paper, you will learn:

  • The difference between sex and gender
  • Sex and gender in the study design
  • Gender equality in the project implementation
  • Some tips for writing an efficient Gender Equality Plan
