Transformative country

Structural change in the worlds of knowledge and work has rural society firmly in its grip, not least with the coal phase-out. The structurally entrenched and gender-specific exodus from rural areas exacerbates the social (dis)order in many places and inhibits cultures of innovation.

The practice-oriented project investigates what the alliances and networks created by active women achieve in structural change, what support they need and how science-practice transfer can contribute to anchoring their potential for renewal in politics and society in institutional and regulatory terms. Especially in light of the election results in Saxony, institutionalized cooperation for a gender-sensitive transformation culture is needed as an important signal to emphasize and further update the structural strengthening necessity in addition to the numerous voluntary connections.

• Identify and communicate transformative practices and constellations of women
• Consolidating alliances and partnerships
• Develop key topics through editorial work for the F wie Kraft platform
• Increase the participation of women in previously unseen areas (especially practitioners from the technical and technological fields)
• bundle existing findings and prepare them for public perception in order to present the current state of knowledge from the regional research context in a compact form: How can women-led innovation be better presented?
• Expanding structural cooperation and identifying conditions for continuity

The project is funded by the Saxon State Ministry for Science, Culture and Tourism(SMWK).

This measure is co-financed with tax revenue on the basis of the budget approved by the members of the Saxon State Parliament.
