About this video
Gendered innovations refer to the practice of using sex and gender analysis as a resource for new questions, new discoveries and stronger science. When sex and gender are not properly accounted for – for example when study populations are largely male, or results are not analysed for differences between women and men – the resulting evidence can be less accurate and less useful.
Building sex and gender analysis into research design improves quality across disciplines and ensures science serves both women and men. National policy and institutional practice can help embed this approach, turning a scientific understanding of sex and gender differences into new opportunities for research and innovation, and supporting progress on SDG 5 (gender equality).
Together with researchers and institutions in China and beyond, speakers will explore how sex and gender analysis is being applied, what it unlocks across fields, and the role of women scientists in advancing it.
What you'll learn:
• What "gendered innovations" means, and why sex and gender analysis makes for better science.
• The risks of overlooking sex and gender in study design, data and reporting.
• How the approach applies across disciplines, including SDG-related research.
• The view from China: where sex and gender analysis is taking hold, and the opportunities ahead.
