Centres of Gender Exellence evaluated

The overall quality of the research from the “Centres of Gender Excellence" was assessed in the evaluation as ranging from very good to outstanding, and the Expert Panel recognizes that the Centres have established both new and internationally recognized gender research.
The Evaluation Panel identifies that the CGEx grants have facilitated research at a higher level of quality and greater international impact than would have been possible
through individual research grants.

In 2006 the Swedish Research Council announced funding for “Centres of Gender Excellence" (CGEx). Grants were approved for Centres at the universities of Uppsala, Umeå and Linköping-Örebro in collaboration.

The first evaluation of the Centres was done in 2007/2008, and the report presented here is the result of the second evaluation of the Centres. The evaluation panel concludes that the Centres have established both new and internationally recognized gender research and that the CGEx grants have facilitated research at a higher level of quality and greater international impact than would have been possible through individual research grants.

The evaluation will form a basis for decisions on further calls using Centres of Excellence as a funding instrument.
