The Research and Innovation Excellence through gender equality: New Pathways (23.–24.10.) conference focuses on #equality in #science, #research & #innovation.

Fund individual academics, not PIs, ‘to stamp out sexual abuse’. My story from this week's #NewPathwaysHelsinki conference on gender equality in research and innovation https://t.co/pQSOsGcfqg

.@elliebothwell @timeshighered writes about the panel at #NewPathwaysHelsinki on #SexualHarassment in HE. Fredrik Bondestam @goteborgsuni suggested that funding should be given to individual researchers, not PIs, to stop the "financing of sexual abuse”. https://t.co/Eu8OqZ0JM8

@martpalau Hi Marta, thanks for asking! Yes, there are recordings from both conference days. We'll make sure to tweet the links when they become available! #NewPathwaysHelsinki

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

And so it is that the #NewPathwaysHelsinki conference has come to an end. Thank you for all of our speakers, participants and online followers for a magnificent two days discussing #equality and #diversity in #research & #innovation. Some food for thought! #EU2019FI

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

Finnish Minister of Science and Culture @KosonenHanna wrapping up #NewPathwaysHelsinki: "One of the main priorities of @EU2019fi is to enhance an innovation-led EU. We need all available resources on board, regardless of gender, ethnical background & sexual orientation."

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

The major outcome of #NewPathwaysHelsinki is the #HelsinkiCallforAction, a recommendation to research & funding organizations as well as member states and policy makers to advance #GenderEquality & #intersectionality in R&I. The document will be published after the conference!

#NewPathwaysHelsinki our main take-home message: it is all about collaboration. We need to work together, all academic fields, all sectors, to foster real change.Interdisciplinarity, intersectionality and inclusion fundamental values for real change. #EU2019FI @deusto

As we're approaching the end of the conference, it is a good moment to take a look back at the discussions we've had in Helsinki these past two days. What has been your main takeaway from the New Pathways conference? Tweet your answer with the #NewPathwaysHelsinki hashtag!

[Tim Thijs @JohnnyTWishbone]

@NewPathways2019 main takeaway: addressing gender dimension in research is about improving research quality. Secondly, addressing intersectionality is a major challenge, no clearcut solutions.

[Federica De Luca @0FedericaDeLuca]

I am asking myself how to realize a #cooperation model vs #competition in research at the time of crises. There are structural economical problems from which lack of solidarity descends. I would call for a strong EU action on the private research labour market @NewPathways2019

[Federica De Luca @0FedericaDeLuca]

#Intersectionality is a methodological tool, and this is what remains to be understood about gender issues too: they give an important perspective on analyses on global economic and rights problems. It's not about women, it's about everybody @NewPathways2019

[Krista Nuutinen @kristanuutinen]

Philomena Essed reminds, if you don’t change the values, the goal of gender equality and intersectionality will fail. #research #innovation #NewPathwaysHelsinki

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

Angela Kocze @ceu ends the panel with strong words: In order to address the topic of #intersectionality, we need to redistribute power, hierarchies and representation. "Having this panel gives out a signal that we need to focus more on this topic." #NewPathwaysHelsinki #EU2019FI

[MArya @mAryalbelloso]

Enjoying so much the inputs from Philomena Essed! Values for change in HE organisations: clear Social Justice Mission; foster collaboration, not competition; personal approach v. set of brains #NewPathwaysHelsinki #EU2019FI @GearingRoles @DeustoResearch @deusto

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

Philomena Essed @AntiochU: #Intersectionality is a good concept from a political perspective as people can’t be reduced to one dimension. It's also imprecise, the idea of various dimensions coming from various directions and meeting somewhere. "A whole person approach is needed."

[Krista Nuutinen @kristanuutinen]

#intersectionality in research and innovation - what and why? Angela Kocze comments that we need to change the approach to research, intersectionality is a concept and an analytical tool for identifying structures of power. #NewPathwaysHelsinki

[Ellie Bothwell @elliebothwell]

Louise Morley @SussexUni very topical, highlighting the dangers of different opposed groups fighting while the mainstream flourishes. “We need coalitions not competition,” she says #NewPathwaysHelsinki

[GEARING-Roles @GearingRoles]

The @GearingRoles team taking part at #NewPathwaysHelsinki. So many people gearing together to foster #GenderEquality in research and innovation #EU2019FI

[Marcela Linkova @marcela_linkova]

Louise Morley: this year it's bern 30 years since Kimberle Crenshaw introduced the concept of #intersectionality . we must use it not only as an #analyticalconcept but aslo #methodologicaltool. #NewPathwaysHelsinki #EU2019FI

[New Pathways Conference 2019 @NewPathways2019]

Angela Kocze @ceu: We need to look at how the system of power affects those who are marginalised. If we’re going to follow the same pace with #intersectionality that we’ve followed concerning gender & racial equality, the change is going to take forever. It's time to take action!

[Ellie Bothwell @elliebothwell]

Philomena Essed, professor of critical race, gender and leadership studies at @AntiochU, says universities must redefine excellence; academia has become a cultural clone of organisations #newpathwayshelsinki
