    Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) have emerged as a prominent tool employed by Research & Innovation institutions to enact strategies aimed at attaining gender equality. Nonetheless, the existing body of literature has not extensively delved into GEPs. This study endeavors to uncover prevalent trends pertaining to the various actions and approaches concerning gender equality delineated in the latest GEPs. Our focus is specifically on European universities in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In this research paper, we establish a theory-based classification framework, which can be utilized to chart and evaluate diverse GEPs. We perform a Qualitative Document Analysis (QDA) on Politecnico di Torino’s GEP to test the framework. Subsequent research endeavors will center on leveraging this framework to gauge the current status of GEPs within STEM Research & Innovation institutions

    This chapter implements the notion of s recombinant knowledge generation function, and explores the role of internal and external knowledge in the generation of new technological knowledge. It enables us to appreciate: i) the complementary as opposed to supplementary role of external knowledge; and ii) the role of the size and composition of the internal stock of knowledge. The empirical section is based on a panel of companies listed on the main European financial markets for the period 1995–2006. The econometric analysis is based on simultaneous equations. The results confirm that R & D efforts and external knowledge are indispensable to the generation of new technological knowledge
