What new insights can gender and diversity aspects provide for industrial research and development (R&D)? How can gender diversity be promoted in R&D? Does innovation management in companies offer new career opportunities for women?

The editors and authors of the brochure "Innovation through Diversity of Perspectives: Impulses for Industrial Practice from Gender and Diversity Research" explore these questions. They draw on the results of the project "Gender and Diversity in Innovation Processes," which the EAF Berlin conducted from 2008 to 2011 in cooperation with Aesculap AG, Daimler AG, Deutsche Telekom, IBM Deutschland GmbH, and Porsche AG, with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Update Diversity & Leadership

Four times a year, EAF-Berlin sends out the “Diversity & Leadership” update.

The current issue focuses on “Corporate Political Responsibility.” The “Diversity & Leadership” update is made possible by our corporate partners.

From Elected to Threatened

From Elected to Threatened

The EAF Berlin study “From Elected to Threatened: Experiences of Female Members of the German Bundestag Regarding Violence against Women in Politics ” surveyed current and former members of the Bundestag and highlights how hate, incitement, and gender-based violence influence political work. It becomes clear that these attacks do not merely target individual female politicians; they endanger political participation and, consequently, democratic representation. The study was produced as part of the European project “3R—Recognize, Resist, Rise Up: Tackling Gender-Based Violence against Women in Politics.”

Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz

Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz

Die Studie liefert erstmals repräsentative, branchenübergreifende Daten zu Ausmaß, Erscheinungsformen und Folgen von Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz in Deutschland. Methodisch basiert sie auf einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz, der quantitative Befragungsdaten mit qualitativen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen kombiniert. Durchgeführt wurde die Untersuchung von der EAF Berlin im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung, Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend geförderten Projekts Bündnis „Gemeinsam gegen Sexismus“. Berücksichtigt wurden dabei neben Frauen und Männern ausdrücklich auch trans, inter und nicht-binäre Personen. Auf Grundlage der Studienergebnisse wurden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, wie staatliche Verantwortung, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und betriebliche Praxis stärker miteinander verzahnt werden können.
