About the Project

The project aims to promote gender equity in research institutions by supporting

structures, policies and training. It will be developed on the basis of 3 key elements: 1)

an in-depth diagnosis of the situation of women and men in each partner institution as

well as its country, 2) the development, approval and assessment of Gender Equality

Plans (GEP) in each institution member of the consortium in order to remove barriers

to the career progression of female researchers, address gender imbalances all over

the institution and strengthen gender mainstreaming in research and teaching, and 3)

the creation or modernisation of Gender Units in each partner institution and the

engagement of the university council so that structural changes could be done and last

for a long time. To attain those aims, training on gender issues and methodology on

data analysis, GEP development and assessment will be provided.
