NSERC is pleased to announce that it is participating in a joint co-funded call for
proposals with Europe as part of GENDER-NET Plus. GENDER-NET Plus brings
together a consortium of 16 partners from 13 different countries including Canada. It is
an important opportunity to fund research projects that will promote the integration of sex
and gender analysis into research at an international level.
GENDER-NET Plus is the first European Research Areas (ERA) Network (NET) Cofund
with the aim of fostering the integration of sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA) into
research and funding programs. The joint call invites interdisciplinary applications
exploring sex and gender effects and dimensions in research topics relating to one or
more of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG3 –
Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 9 – Infrastructure, Industrialization and Innovation,
and SDG 13 – Climate Action.
