Research and innovation (RI) policies in Europe aim to promote gender equality in the field of RI. However, gender equality at the regional level of RI has received little attention and has remained under-researched. This article draws on a process of collaborative knowledge production between regional developers and researchers in Finland, aiming to further gender equality in regional RI (2019–20). It examines negotiations about gender equality that occurred in the course of the process through the notion of situated gender equality. The developers initially stated that gender equality was needed as ‘a solution’ in regional development but did not know how to implement it. The process of collaborative knowledge production, a dialogue between the practices of regional development and the research-based conceptions of gender and participative methods, shows that gender equality in regional RI needs to be closely integrated into the practices of regional developers’ main development work.

区域研究和创新中的性别平等：协作知识生产

欧洲的研究与创新 (RI) 政策旨在促进​​ RI 领域的性别平等。然而，区域一级的性别平等几乎没有受到关注，并且仍然没有得到充分研究。本文借鉴了芬兰区域开发人员和研究人员之间协作知识生产的过程，旨在促进区域 RI（2019-20 年）的性别平等。它通过情境性别平等的概念审查了在进程过程中发生的关于性别平等的谈判。开发商最初表示，需要将性别平等作为区域发展的“解决方案”，但不知道如何实施。协同知识生产的过程，
