Investigating and addressing career barriers faced by underrepresented and marginalised researchers

Objectives: Strengthening gender equality and inclusiveness in the European Research Area, the Horizon Europe grant seeks to raise awareness and equip stakeholders with tools to support the career advancement of underrepresented researchers, focusing on issues such as working precarity, gender-based violence, harassment, and epistemic injustice. Expected outcomes include developing evidence-based recommendations for inclusive policies, mentorship programs, diversity training, enhancing the overall R&I system's ability to foster fair career advancement, and better integrating disadvantaged researchers.
