Understanding gender dimension for MSCA projects

Are you an MSCA fellow or considering applying to an MSCA grant? Then check if the gender dimension is applicable to your research field! Gender dimension is not about the ratio of women and men in your research project, its about your research content. This video will explain you what gender dimension in research is about and give you examples of how it can be integrated within your research project and improve the quality of your research

A video plagued with gender stereotypes and generalizations, encouraging gender perspectives before even asking the question "Is gender the most relevant variable?"

What about the "sleep perspective"? How are night owls affected by different projects?
What about the "shyness perspective"? How are shy people affected by different projects?
What about the "height perspective"? How are short people affected by different projects?
What about the "drug use" perspective?... All of these are potentially very important.

If you were to count all the relevant intersections thoroughly, you will find about 6 billion categories - each individual's experience and circumstances are unique. Let's stop categorizing people arbitrarily. It's about time!

Question: How many women would be willing to work long hours in the cold Swedish winters to clear the snow off roads and crosswalks? Why don't you do a research on that instead of wasting taxpayers' money with ridiculous studies?

imagine the gender dimensions of mathematics or 90% of sciences. What a complete nonsense.
