Annex I – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.3 – point d a (new)
(d a) There is a need for more women to enter the science sector, but if this research is conducted at institutions (such as universities) it must be open to the commercialisation of knowledge rather than for the direct advancement of knowledge. In other words, the idea is that of market opportunity and orientated driven projects which have the practical viability to be commercialised.
