The role of Gender Groups and the Impact of Gender Concerns on the Articulation of EPS

The present gender report is a joint collaboration of the EUROSPHERE Gender Group (EGG). The present EGG has participation of scholars from different national teams and work packages; Robert Sata, the Central European University, Hungary, Alberto Arribas Lozano and Aurora Álvarez Veinguer, Granada University, Spain, Monika Mokre, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Lise Rolandsen Agustín, Helene Pristed Nielsen and Birte
Siim, Aalborg University, Denmark. The EUROSPHERE gender group has been involved in numerous discussions about the present gender report. The EGG has commented on the structure, design and analysis at the meetings at the general EUROSPHERE conferences and at a separate gender group meeting, for example in Aalborg June 25, 2010, and in Budapest, January 2011. All of the members have one way or the other been involved in the gender report and some of the EGG members have contributed with separate chapters. Helene Pristed Nielsen and Birte Siim are responsible for the final editing of the report and take the sole responsibility for any mistakes made.
