Network for gender research at KTH

The network for gender research at KTH contributes research-based knowledge in the work to integrate JML in first-cycle and third-cycle education programmes. The network was established in 2020 and functions as a scientific reference group in the work to integrate gender issues into the education programmes. The network supports the development of a gender perspective within the engineering sciences. In 2020, the first step was taken to establish a network for gender research at KTH which (1) creates a scientific reference group in the work with integration in education, (2) is a support in the development of a gender perspective within the engineering sciences and (3) promotes scientific exchange between gender researchers at KTH. 2021: The network's researchers will produce educational materials and design guidelines that can contribute competence support in the integration of JML into education. 2022: The network's researchers will arrange workshops for employees at KTH to support the development of a gender perspective within the engineering sciences, in accordance with the development plan's wording that gender perspectives will be increasingly integrated into research. 2023-2025: The network serves as a reference group for the KTH Equality Office, which can provide advice and take on assignments to ensure that research-based support is provided for the integration of JML in the university’s education programmes. Researchers can contribute educational materials, guidance and competence support in the integration of JML into the university's education programmes. 2023-2025: The network's researchers will arrange and offer annual workshops for employees at KTH to support the development of a gender perspective within engineering sciences, in accordance with the development plan's wording that gender perspectives will be increasingly integrated into research. The digital course on gender in research hat has been developed (which is available to researchers in Canvas) is continuously developed by researchers in the gender network.
