The third pillar of gender equality – the integration of a gender dimension in research and innovation content – is legitimised by the gender mainstreaming strategy on the one hand and by quality standards in science and research on the other (Caprile et al. 2012). Gender studies and gender and sex analysis are now either well-established or at least partly in place in almost all fields of research. Indeed, it is argued that research results are not valid or reliable if they only consider male research subjects.
