Gender Impact Assessment (GIA)
RESET GIA implementation report
GIA checklist and protocol in all project languages
Mainstreaming the gender dimension in research activities and outcomes is a topical challenge related to excellence. The gender dimension in research activities requires an ethically sound process in creating highquality results. Major research funding organisations are increasingly interested in analyses of the gender dimension in research, thereby challenging researchers to review their research plans accordingly. The Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) aims to tackle this challenge.
The checklist includes crucial points on inclusion of gender perspective in research as well as issues such as: a) gender composition of the research team, b) division of tasks, when relevant c) gender in relation to the collecting data and its representation in the data d) gender as an analysis category or gender as a tool of the data analysis. The GIA Protocol includes procedures that the organisations will commit to assess new research proposals from gender dimension as an everyday and regular practice of the university.
Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) guidelines
The guidelines introduce the idea behind the GIA, explain its benefits for high quality research and knowledge production and describe the implementation of the GIA protocol at RESET Universities.
GIA online course for PhD and Master's level students
The Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) online course is one of the various methods to add knowledge on and teach how to disseminate and incorporate sex, gender, and intersectionality dimensions into the design of new research projects. In this demonstrator in your hands, we illustrate GIA online training intended for Master’s and PhD students as well as PostDoc researchers in the RESET project universities.

Co-design starter kit
The co-design starter – kit introduces the notion of co-design, including its theoretical background, principles, and practices as well as offers support for its implementation. The latter is achieved by discussing aspects relating to how to take the context into account in co-design in different contexts as well as by offering a set of tools (example methods) to use within
different co-design practices. This starter kit is based on decades of research on participatory, user and human-centered design with different computing and design disciplines. Initial empirical research has also already been conducted in RESET partner universities on contextual factors shaping co-design of gender equality, from which some empirical insights are presented.
