SANCHEZ DE MADARIAGA, Inés  and  RUIZ CANTERO, María Teresa. Opportunity for the integration of the gender perspective in health research and innovation in Europe: COST Network genderSTE. Gac Sanit [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.5, pp.401-404. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2014.04.005.

The European Commission supports several routes for incorporating the gender perspective. The Commission currently supports the new Horizon 2020 program, and also funds projects such as "gendered innovations", which show how gender innovations increase the quality of research and professional practice for health and welfare. One of the policy instruments is the Recommendation on Gender, Science and Innovation. Against this background, the international European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) network genderSTE (Gender, Science, Technology and Environment) was created, which seeks to: 1) promote structural changes in institutions to increase the number of women researchers; 2) identify the gender dimensions relevant to the environment; and 3) improve the integration of a gender perspective in research and technology. COST GenderSTE supports networking and the dissemination of knowledge with a gender perspective. All these tools provide an opportunity to incorporate a gender perspective in research in Europe.
