In May 2023, trainers from various organizations partnered with MINDtheGEPs gathered in Belgrade to deliberate on gender considerations in scientific publication, encompassing both research themes and teams. The workshop aimed to formulate guidelines for gendering scientific publications to inform the European research community. GENDRO’s president, Dr Shirin Heidari, was invited to provide keynote regarding the significance of the SAGER guidelines in addressing gender biases in research and discussing the importance of such considerations with other distinguished speakers including Dr Isabel Goldman, I&D officer at Cell Press, and Londa Schiebinger the John L. Hinds Professor of History of Science in the History Department at Stanford University and Director of the EU/US Gendered Innovations in Science, Health & Medicine, Engineering, and Environment Project.
During the workshop, the European Commission’s stance on gender equality in research was discussed, setting the stage for the development of the guidelines. The session covered perspectives on gender equality for researchers and management levels, including insights on gender dynamics in teams and themes from publishers and editors. The training involved a workshop segment where participants delved into different perspectives, capturing the viewpoints of students, junior and senior researchers in SSH and STEM, reviewers, editors, and gender equality educators.
