Research Grant at CESAM - Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies

The research activities will focus on the socio-economic characterisation and the status of Gender Equality within the Blue Economy across different European sea basins.

The PhD work plan to be carried out in the doctoral program in Economic and Business Sciences at the University of Aveiro will be anchored on the BESIDE platform under the topic of sustainable blue economy and integrated into the WIN-BIG project.
The work plan with reference A addresses the scientific question – How are the different challenges related to sustainable development goal 5, gender equality, reflected on the European Blue Economy as a whole and within each sea basin in particular? Additionally, it will focus on which way can science and data contribute to the development of novel and adequate capacity building models while supporting the setup of more inclusive policies to end gender inequality in this relevant economic sector?

The workplan will imply the development of technical and scientific work within the scope of socioeconomic characterisation of the status of gender equality at different levels within the blue economy in different European sea basins, including the mapping of specific needs for regional capacitation and training of women in this sector. It will also include the preparation of a Roadmap to EU Blue Economy Gender Equality and a set of public policy recommendations to support the path to a more gender-balanced blue economy in Europe.
