	Background. Gender Impact Estimation (GIE) reports are an ideal tool to assess European R&D and innovation policies in Spain from a gender perspective. 

	Research aims. The primary objective of this study is to further the use of GIE reports as a tool for diagnosing whether a given measure or policy will affect women and men equally. Our secondary objectives are: a) present a gender diagnostic; b) propose measures and policies that will help close the existing gender gap and promote equal opportunities for men and women. 

	Methodology. Methodologically, this tool will be used to analyse the actions taken by the Seventh Framework Programme and the first Horizon 2020 Programme. We start by analysing the development of gender equality legislation in Spain. The second part of our study adapts GIE reports as a tool for evaluating and diagnosing European research and innovation projects. 

	Key findings. This adaptation is the most important contribution of our study, as it allows for the analysis of public R&D and innovation policies from a gender perspective. This system may help to create wealth and economic growth, as it allows men and women’s contribution to be properly valued from an equal opportunity perspective.
