Conference description

The conception of the conference is based on the understanding that development of human resources is the main component in the science producing process. Among all ERA priorities the most closely related to this issue is gender equality in research, concerned with improvement of work and life conditions for researchers of genders and leading to more gender balanced, productive and innovative science. Regardless of the efforts taken by the European Commission the ERA Report 2016 shows that advancements in this priority are still remaining relatively slow. It presupposes the need of more vide involvement of stakeholders in ensuring the harmonization of solutions made in all ERA priorities.

The aim of the event
