Gender for Excellence in Research (GenderEX) is a project designed to build networks, exchange knowledge and engage best practices to stimulate the integration of the Sex and Gender Dimension in Research Content (SGDRC), between the Gender and Women’s Studies Research Center at Kadir Has University (GWSRC-KHAS) in Turkey and three internationally-leading partners in this area: University of Lund (Sweden), University of Genoa (Italy) and Technological University Dublin (Ireland).
Project Aim
The overall aim of GenderEX is to further the adoption of SGDRC across multiple scientific disciplines in Turkey by enhancing the capacity of GWSRC-KHAS for training and engaging more researchers into this field, with a primary focus on Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). Through these means, the GWSRC-KHAS aims to become a leading center for gender studies and gender research in Turkey and one of the best centres in this field in the EU, recognized for its excellence.
