“…Sufficient resources to promote transfer activity are also necessary prerequisites for scientists to consider commercializing (Rasmussen et al, 2014). According to Busolt and Kugele (2009), female scientists have fewer resources at their disposal than their male colleagues with respect to financial resources, lab time, and time for research and training.…”

“…In line with these numbers Busolt and Kugele (2009) claim that in order to fully utilise women's innovation potential it is not enough to increase the number of female researchers. On subsequent stages of their careers female researchers do not obtain the proportional amount of research grants and other resources in relation to their share among scientists.…”

Background. Gender inequality hinders economic growth by lowering the pool of potential talents for production, through distorted access of one gender to education, employment, entrepreneurship, and creation of innovation. Research on policies on entrepreneurship, innovation and gender is of great importance for deciding on the best policy mix to diminish losses of welfare due to gender inequality.Research aims. The aim of this paper is to examine how the policies towards innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe address the issue of gender equality. The question we put is whether entrepreneurship-targeting and innovation-targeting policies are gender-oriented, gender-neutral, or gender-indirect-discriminating.Methodology. Our focus is on the intersection of the areas of innovations, entrepreneurship, and gender. We analyse models of innovation systems: National Innovation Systems, Tripple Helix, and Quadruple Helix Models and discuss if they address gender equality in innovations.Key findings. We claim that a gender perspective is missing in policies towards innovation and entrepreneurship. Innovation policies in Europe target mostly male-dominated industries. The paper concludes that science-based policies on entrepreneurship and innovation should incorporate gender equality as their structural feature.

“…Investigating aspects of gender in invention suggests possibilities for more efficient use of human resources. The under-representation of women in science and technology in the European Union causes special concern, considering that as well as the low percentage of women researchers there is an even lower percentage of women inventors (Busolt & Kugele, 2009). To achieve the full engagement of women at all levels in this field will allow an important step forward in, and consolidation of, the progress of science and technology.…”

ABSTRACT. Much work has been done about the quality of patents as a tool to improve economic growth. However, investigations concerning the analysis of women's participation in technological research are very limited. The aim of this article is to determine if female participation in a specific invention influences the quality of the patent. The research is based on the analysis, of the information which shows 498 patent applications and 1838 inventors from Universities and Public Research Centres in Andalusia (Spain), between 1990 and 2006. The main conclusion is the fact that the quality of the patent is higher when the inventor team includes both, male and female presence. According to the results obtained in this work, we argue that it is therefore necessary to implement policies to promote greater contribution by women and the resultant implication in the fields of science and technology.
