The active members of Deusto Gender Interdisciplinary Platform, María Silvestre Cabrera from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences and Luz Maceira Ochoa from the University Community Identity and the Mission of the Vice Chancellor attended the Gender Summit on the 6 and 7 of November. The Summit took place in Berlin and preceded the Falling Walls celebration as a reminder that gender inequality is a ‘wall’ that also must fall. The Strategic Plan 2018, the Social Responsibility Project of the University of Deusto identifies the gender inequality as a challenge that should be properly addressed.

GS7 Europe demonstrated how to apply the gender lens to improve effectiveness of research and innovation, and how to transform policy context through strategic, high-level policy alliances to enable lasting change to take place. 350 participants heard from 80 speakers focusing on the benefits of gender equal and gender sensitive research and innovation and enhancing the capacity of policy actions to achieve lasting change.
