SUMMARY:Annual Meeting 2023 - Malta
DESCRIPTION:Conference “Voicing young researchers for the future of Europe: Trends\, challenges\, and policies” \nValletta Campus of the University of Malta will host the annual meeting of the COST ACTION VOICES Making Young Researchers’ Voices Heard for Gender Equality on 14-15 February 2023. The conference will focus on the topic: Voicing young researchers for the future of Europe: Trends\, challenges\, and policies. \n\nSeveral studies flag the role played by young researchers in advancing research innovation and knowledge development and bringing fresh perspectives to research (Chen et al.\, 2015; Cantwell\, 2011; Musselin\, 2004; Åkerlind\, 2005). Young researchers also greatly contribute to the enrichment of academic life and culture\, through innovative teaching\, creating associations and networks – and therefore to research excellence overall. They also represent a growing pool of professionals in Europe; yet only slightly over half of those in the academic sector are employed on permanent contracts\, compared to the vast majority of those in other sectors (European Science Foundation\, 2017\, p.11). Moreover\, their working conditions have become increasingly unstable as they are particularly affected by the growing casualisation of the academic workforce and precariousness of the academic life (Murgia & Porgio\, 2019). They face\, among other things\, insecure employment conditions (short-term contracts\, part-time)\, low remunerations\, long working hours\, increasing requirements (mainly mobility)\, intense academic competition\, overwhelming administrative and organisational tasks\, and a lack of recognition by research organisations. \nMany of these work experiences are profoundly gendered\, with intersectional dynamics at play (European Commission\, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation\, 2021). Gender equality has been on the European political agenda for research and innovation over the last decades\, and many EU-funded projects focus on gender mainstreaming in research institutions through the implementation of Gender Equality Plans. These include LeTSGEPs (2020-2023)\, GEARING ROLES (2019-2022)\, SPEAR (2019-2022)\, GENDERACTION (2017-2021)\, EQUAL-IST (2016-2019)\, ACT (2018-2021). Several certification and award schemes already exist in Europe (Athena Swan Award\, Label égalité\, etc.); while the CASPER project (2020-2022) examines the feasibility of establishing a European certification system for gender equality for Research Performing Organizations (RPOs). \n
