Gender mainstreaming the innovation system Skåne Food Innovation Network : a description and some reflections

• We are working as a research team of intermediates and researchers in supporting and initiating activities and processes within the Skåne Food Innovation Network (SFIN), aiming at implement gender mainstreaming in the activities, projects and initiatives taken by this innovation milieu.Guided by feminist research on organisation, innovation and regional development our research project is structured as an action research project in which we closely collaborate with SFIN, in which learning and knowledge sharing processes are core activities.Finding methods in how to support the project managers to let gender awareness and gender mainstreaming efforts trickle the network is a challenge. Working with gender equality and gender mainstreaming processes also craves for legitimacy and trustworthy.To begin the work and getting access, we have come to start in the very processes run by the project managers of the SFIN. By starting in the everyday work of the project manager, we have been able to identifying processes, issues and questions of how to deal with gender equality. Below we reflect on these processes and the work being carried out this far.
