Research Grant at University of Aveiro - Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies
A tender is open for the award of one Research Grant at the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) under the WIN-BIG project.
The major goal of this grant, under project “WIN-BIG - Women IN Blue economy Intelligence Gathering and capacity boosting”, funded by the European Commission- CINEA/EMFAF, is to support the ongoing work to evaluate and characterize the current gender status and capacity gaps for women in European Blue Economy. The research 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 of the 6 sea basins in particular?
Additionally, it will focus on how science and data can contribute to developing novel and adequate female 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 characterization 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. Based on the ongoing EU-wide WIN-BIG survey, as well as other actions and events under the project to engage with related stakeholders, the grantee will have access to the data and preliminary results and outputs to analyze using an array of statistical and socioeconomic methodologies, possibly contributing to the design of new capacity building actions as well as several reports and scientific publications.
