Institutions need to think beyond their own "bubble", not about themselves compared to "the other", and foster institutional empathy. Gendered Innovation could be the topic of the third meeting when they meet once in the future. The Asian perspective is summed up in the most popular Japanese literature, The Tales of the Heike, which says: “The sound of bells echoes through the monastery at Gion Shoji, telling all who hear it that nothing is permanent.
There is also a requirement in terms of the targets set by government departments to be explicit about the impact on women. Important changes that have begun to be seen in the demographics of the research and innovation communities. By the late 1960s, there was a provision to include 1% as a law in the state constitution.
One of the reasons for the difference in the share between countries could be the technological area of the applications. Contributing to greater equity in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (Ms. Berenice Marais, Head, Programs for Enabling and Supporting Innovation, TIA). Many programs in the national innovation system count the number of female scientists.
This is because there is no order in the list of inventors' names.

The public transport system, as a public space, is one of the biggest drivers of violence in South Africa. If there will be more of the same, then the SDGs will remain a dream. Given its capacity, South Africa must be abreast of global knowledge in areas critical to the economy.
This is worrying in light of the expertise and skills needed to address the SDGs. This introverted culture can be ingrained, especially since more than 50% of PhD graduates find employment in the higher education sector. Many of the accepted challenges facing South Africa and a number of similar countries are reflected in the SDGs.
This will raise awareness of the complexity of implementation and allow key relationships to be established during the research phase. The gender audit of Kenya's climate change policies (i.e. the Climate Change Act of 2016 and former Climate Change Policy of 2016) aimed. A review of the legislative documents, particularly the Kenya Climate Change Act and the Draft Policy on Climate Change.
We have established satellite innovation hubs in the townships to serve the communities and the innovation that comes from the communities. Prof Buitendijk: Imperial College in London tries hard to be part of the community. We give feedback back to the government and some of our research is used to inform some of the policies.
Bits and pieces here and there do not work, especially if we want to address the ambitious nature of the SDGs.
Scientific Research and SITE Education (Prof Shirley Malcom) The group identified that science research and education has to
A panel discussion on people's experiences of taking research to market concluded that, while not without its challenges, there is not much gender bias in today's process. Gender bias in the selection of directors of spin-off companies (knowledge-related gender bias). The innovation pipeline should be checked to make sure it is a consistent pipeline, and programmatic interventions should be made to correct errors.
There should be an overall study to look at the innovation pipeline, not at the national level, but regionally (Gauteng cannot be used as a benchmark), to identify the players, inter-relationships and gaps in each of the regions. There is a need to look at the leadership of journals, their processes, their review structures and who the reviewers are, and begin to examine for conscious and unconscious biases in order to begin to shift what is valued within the community. The group recommended that biases between/within research fields be given visibility, possibly by holding a large meeting with the participation of grant-giving entities, publishing entities and some of the leading universities.
It is necessary to collect some examples and look at gender and other intersectionality in these examples. The group recommended that GenderInSITE should conduct a call for case studies to examine gender-based innovations from the South, using a template based on the work of Prof. Schiebinger. Models that are transferable should be identified and shared across geographic areas and similar target groups.
There may be a need to look at whether the examples, models or structure of the teaching given prevent students from feeling engaged and identifying with the subject area. Examples of training in gender sensitivity and for innovation, invention and entrepreneurship should be provided. A case study of where gender has been considered should be developed to help people begin to recognize when difference can occur and what difference it makes.
TTOs should be a catalyst for change, seeking out and targeting gender-relevant inventions in terms of their own gender assessment and training.
Gender Equity in the Attainment of the SDGs: Influencing Policy (Prof Alice Abreu)
Coming from the South, without dismissing South-North interaction, and different parts of the world. The group felt that there are many opportunities to implement this project, but would first need to identify sources (institutions that have databases of innovations) and ask for proposals from the different regions and networks, then list the options and choose specific choices of innovations. This will be followed by the production of videos on each of the innovations showing why they are important, how they were produced, the problems and the gender lens they carry.
It would be featured as an independent project on all websites of the GenderInSITE network and used to distribute the videos. Response, Prof. Abreu: The videos would go to different target groups, for example UN Women, UNESCO, UNCTAD and the members of their countries and to the GenderInSITE network. Each video should be a story in itself and at the end of the videos there would be a link to everyone's website to get more information and more analysis.
Prof. Abreu's response: The videos and the funding projects are somewhat separated as a more traditional, discussion approach will be used for funders, but the videos can also be shown to the funders to help them understand the importance of having programs that gender is included. lens. It would be interesting to hear the reflections of the three group chairs on whether they would like to continue with three different groups of case studies. Prof Abreu: The video project would be a collective project of the three sets of results from the three themes discussed, incorporating all the issues raised by the three groups.
A strategy to get more voices and a clear message needs to be part of the conversation. But it could happen that we could help structure the study that was proposed for ASSAf and then it could become a template for some of the other countries in SADC to do something similar and spread it that way. An update on some of the things CSTD is doing in terms of innovation might be helpful.
The videos will get the message across very clearly and have a big impact because all the board members are in decision-making positions in their countries.
MODERATOR: PROF ALICE ABREU) GENERAL DISCUSSION
Complementing a policy brief, there will be five case studies from different regions of the world that illustrate gendered innovation in very different ways depending on the specific cultural context of the different regions. In addition, there will be a careful analysis of the case studies that will be used to highlight each study by providing more solid background information and adapted to the different target groups. This issue should be addressed in the first part of the report, which talks about what innovation is.
The first meeting in each of the regions should discuss the criteria and start looking at the databases in the regions for cases that bring up the criteria. A starting point for developing criteria could be to map some of the examples in the UNCTAD report available online (Applying a Gender Lens to STI (2008)) onto the SDGs. The CSTD has recently done work called, New Innovation Approaches to Facilitate the Implementation of the SDGs.
Careful consideration should be given to who the audience for the case study project might be and what funders need to understand about gender to be effective in funding, projects, data collections and analyses. One should look at some of the programs run by major funding agencies. The two workshop initiatives should not be mixed as they will be merged once the videos are ready.
The video made for Silicon Valley companies on the Gendered Innovations website will be distributed to all participants as an example of the video that will be made from the five case studies (Action: Prof Londa Schiebinger). The title of the report should introduce more of the SDGs and was proposed as, Gender and Innovation: Implications for Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The overall message of the report is that the SDGs will not succeed without gender-inclusive action.
