Abstract

Research and development (R&D) involves innovative studies conducted systematically to increase knowledge and practices (Keleş, 2007: 45). While Turkey’s R&D intensity score is below the European average, it has increased continuously since the 2000s. Meanwhile, development of human capital in R&D has become one of the aims of Turkey’s National Strategy of Science, Technology and Innovation. This paper will focus on the gendered dynamics of careers in R&D, a field with a wide gender gap, through interviews conducted with employees in a university technopark and some of Turkey’s large R&D centers to explore the relationships between science, technology, innovation and gender.

Özet

Araştırma-Geliştirme (Ar-Ge), bilgi birikimini ve uygulamalarını artırmak amacıyla sistematik olarak yürütülen yenilikçi çalışmaları ifade eder (Keleş, 2007: 45). Ar-Ge yoğunluğu Türkiye’de AB ortalamasının epey gerisinde seyretmekle birlikte, 2000’li yıllardan itibaren sürekli bir artış trendi göstermiştir. Ar-ge insan kaynağının geliştirilmesi de Ulusal Bilim, Teknoloji ve Yenilik Stratejisinin temel hedeflerinden biridir. Bu makale, bir üniversite teknoparkının ve Türkiye’nin büyük AR-GE merkezlerinin çalışanlarıyla yapılan görüşmeler aracılığıyla geniş toplumsal cinsiyet uçurumlarının olduğu kabul edilen AR-GE alanındaki kariyer deneyimlerini toplumsal cinsiyet açısından inceleyerek bilim, teknoloji, inovasyon ve toplumsal cinsiyet arasındaki ilişkilere bakmayı hedefliyor.
