Gender Equality in science and research has become increasingly relevant within the European Union (EU) and within the European Research Area (ERA). In recent years, significant efforts have been made to achieve the three objectives set by the ERA on gender equality: increasing gender balance in research teams, increasing gender balance in decision-making, and strengthening the gender dimension in research. The work that has been performed at EU level and across ERA countries has brought some improvements, but the objective of strengthening the gender dimension in research has received little attention in several countries and, overall, the number of publications that incorporate the gender dimension remains low (EC 2019). In some countries, such as Portugal, gender in/equality continues to be seen (and handled) as an issue of (under)representation of women in research; the gender dimension in research seems thus to be sidelined. This work, carried out as part of an international H2020 funded research project (CHANGE – CHalleNging Gender (In)Equality in science and research), seeks to bring this issue to the center of the debate. Through a comparative perspective, this study aims to explore, characterise and analyse, how a Portuguese university (University of Aveiro – UA) has been involving the gender perspective in their research outputs in the last decades. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, the annual percentage of SCOPUS publications incorporating a gender perspective in the UA (i.e. publications which have gender, women or sex in the title, abstract or keywords) is determined and its evolution along the last decades analysed. The analysis reveals that in each year analysed, the percentage of UA SCOPUS publications with a gender focus is always below 3.5%. The first UA publication that meets the requirements of our SCOPUS database search appeared in the year 2000 and – as with most Portuguese public HEIs analysed in the framework of this study – progress in recent years has been slow and oscillate between advancements and setbacks. Between 2000 and 2019 the percentage of UA SCOPUS publications incorporating the gender dimension increased only 1.91 percentage points. Taking that Gender Equality is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, universities and academics need to reflect on the need to increase the integration of the gender perspective in research.

A igualdade de género na ciência e na investigação é uma temática importante na União Europeia (UE) e constitui um dos objetivos da Área Europeia de Investigação. A desigualdade tende a persistir em vários países, prejudicando as organizações, a economia e a sociedade. Para eliminar este problema, a Comissão Europeia tem financiado vários projetos de investigação-ação que procuram estimular mudanças institucionais duradouras através da implementação de Planos de Igualdade de Género (GEP) nas Organizações Produtoras de Investigação (RPOs). A resistência parece, contudo, ser um dos principais desafios à sua implementação. Este estudo visa analisar as dinâmicas organizacionais de resistência à implementação dos GEP em Portugal. Partindo da experiência de investigadores/as responsáveis pelo desenho, planeamento e implementação destes projetos, identificam-se as principais formas de resistência, discutem-se as razões que lhes subjazem e abordam-se algumas estratégias com potencial para as superar e para garantir a sustentabilidade das iniciativas. Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa, evidencia que, apesar de assumir diferentes formas e configurações em função dos contextos organizacionais onde são implementados os GEP, a resistência é um problema transversal aos vários projetos nacionais.

Achieving gender equality (GE) in science and research has become an important issue in the European Union (EU) and one of the objectives of the European Research Area (ERA). Progress in this area is sluggish and difficult, with several indicators showing that women tend to remain in a disadvantage position when compared to men, despite several efforts and initiatives to correct the situation. It is widely acknowledged that gender inequality may be leading to huge losses of talent, detrimental to organisations, to the economy and to the society (European Commission 2020). To overcome this situation, the European Commission (EC) has funded several action-research projects (through FP6, FP7 and H2020) in order to accelerate and/or stimulate effective and structural institutional changes through the implementation of tailor-made Gender Equality Plans (GEPs). Several GEPs have been implemented in Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) in many countries. Although the effective impact of these plans and their contribution to the creation of more egalitarian working environments in organisations has not yet been fully determined, it seems that resistance may be one of the main obstacles to their successful implementation. This study aims to analyse the organisational dynamics of resistance to the implementation of GEPs in Portuguese RPOs. Thus, drawing on the experience of key actors directly involved in the design, planning and implementation of the GEPs, the authors identify the main forms of resistance felt and discuss the reasons underlying this resistance, while analysing some potential strategies to overcome them and to ensure the success of both gender initiatives and national projects. To achieve the objective of the work, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the Principal Investigators (PI) of three projects developed in Portuguese RPOs. In an attempt to find ‘meaning-oriented regularities’ in the data, the interviews were analysed using the ‘interpretative qualitative’ approach. The authors conclude that resistance to GE initiatives is identified in all institutional contexts but it can assume different forms and configurations.

Based in a H2020 funded project and on theoretical contributions of the feminist institutional perspective, this paper provides a comparative view between men and women on the identified values, practices and behaviours needed to the institutionalisation and promotion of gender equal and inclusive higher education institutions (HEI). This theoretical perspective grounds our comparative analysis, supported by 22 interviews with institutional key-actors: 15 men and 7 women. Being our sample constituted by both male and female interviewees of a Portuguese university can be seen as an innovative approach due to two complementary reasons. First, Portuguese HEI clearly exemplify women representation in academia, considering their significant presence and rapid growth in HEI: as the system expanded and democratised, it also became more feminised, although women are still underrepresented in top-management and leading positions, contributing to perpetuate the vertical segregation phenomenon. Second, gender issues on (Portuguese) HEI are usually approached by women, with men having a peripheral role. Towards this background, we are interested in understanding how both sexes envisage gender equality in their working place (the academia) and even to depict how men perceive their role in the construction of gender-balanced and inclusive HEI. Data analysis reveals not only differences but also similarities between men and women perceptions of the values, practices and behaviours needed to the institutionalisation and promotion of a gender equal and inclusive institution. There is a common trend to consider universities as gender neutral and to attribute the responsibility for changes to the political, social and/or cultural systems, which results from a common symbolic realm of meaning-making common to women and men. However, it is more common to find women manifesting a more positive perspective to affirmative actions at the university. Thus, one can say that women situation can justify their greater assumption of an agency perspective on institutional change.
