Project description
endeavour. In the GeDiMINT project, the holistic development towards excellence is strategically and intensively promoted through a multi-perspective collaboration of different specialist and discourse cultures. It is based on three pillars: Gender Research Support (advice & mediation), Gender Dialogues (exchange & incentives) and Knowledge Exchange (publicity & transfer).
The objective is to enable STEM researchers to independently integrate gender aspects based on the competence for a gender relevance assessment, to strengthen inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation with regards to gender dimensions and to sustainably secure the successful measures and make them available to the public. The resulting new research-supporting structures consolidate the university development plans and will be incorporated by them. Here, you can find information and results of the application phase (BMBF-funded project “Geschlechterdimensionen in MINT-Disziplinen. InnovationHub als Instrument ganzheitlicher Entwicklung (IH2E)”) >>
BMBF funding program “Gender Aspects in Focus (GiB)”
The BMBF-guideline “Geschlechteraspekte im Blick” aims at “ensuring needs-oriented consideration of the gender dimension in research and development in all scientific areas in order to promote excellence in research and thereby contribute to improving the lives of all people” (translated by GeDiMINT, see GiB announcement of July 21st, 2021). It is also important for international competitiveness. The detailed description of the GiB-funding program can be found on the BMBF website here (website only available in German).
GeDiMINT is a BMBF-funded project at TU Braunschweig. It was initiated in cooperation with the Braunschweig Centre for Gender Studies.
