Abstract

The European Working Group on Empowering the Excluded (1999) explains social inclusion as the development of capacity and opportunity to play a full role in society, including economic, social, psychological and political. An intervention may focus on one or more attributes of inequity. Science Granting Councils (SGC) are advised to choose at least four Gender and Social Inclusion (GeSI) areas, with gender as a stand-alone and intersecting attribute; age, disability and geography ranking the highest. In contexts where attributes other than these four are prominent, they may be considered and discussed in addition to, but not instead of, gender, age, disability and geographic inclusion.
