Abstract: This entry highlights the critical transition from a quantitative pursuit of gender equality to a focus on qualitative inclusion within the research and innovation (R&I) domains. Acknowledging that, according to UNESCO, women occupy merely one-third of research positions globally, this entry emphasises the significance of diversifying research and innovation to mitigate societal inequalities and biases in technologies, particularly those stemming from a predominantly masculine research culture. It underscores the necessity of addressing structural and cultural barriers in the field of science, technology, and innovation (STI) to create a more inclusive and diverse working culture, ensuring that women and other minorities are retained and empowered within R&I.
