Pathways to Energy Efficient Manufacturing through Digitisation

<p>This article presents the outcomes of a collaborative activity across four EU funded projects, under DT-FOF-09-2020 - Energy-efficient manufacturing system manage- ment, focused on establishing innovative ways and best practice for leveraging dig- ital technologies to implement more energy efficient manufacturing systems. The outcome of this work is the definition of a pathway towards energy efficiency that allows industry to understand their current situation and to stimulate the definition of a strategic road map to incorporate energy efficiency as a key criteria in operational and organisational decision making. This research presents the findings and the design of such a pathway.</p&gt

Gendered Innovations 2: How Inclusive Analysis Contributes to Research and Innovation. Policy Review

Integrating sex and gender analysis into research and innovation adds value to research and increases its societal relevance. It is thereby crucial to secure Europe’s leadership in science and technology, and support its inclusive growth. To further strengthen the integration of sex and gender analysis into research and innovation, the European Commission convened an expert group to support these efforts. This report highlights the results of the expert group and contains definitions of terms and methods relating to sex, gender and intersectional analysis, interdisciplinary case studies displaying how to integrate the gender dimension into various fields of research and innovation, as well as concrete policy recommendations. The material presented provides guidance for the Horizon Europe framework programme and seeks to contribute to the achievement of the UN SDGs
