Centre of excellence on inclusive gender equality in Research & Innovation

Summary

Projects under this Call aim to achιeve the advancement of knowledge, policy and practice on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation institutions across Europe, with an intersectional, geographically inclusive, and multi-sectorial approach. Additionally, this Call has the goal to reduce disparities across Member States and strengthen the European Research Area and its gender equality and inclusiveness objective.

Detailed Call Description

  • Provide expertise and support to Member States, R&I organisations, and the European Commission, in the design, implementation and assessment of institutional change through inclusive gender equality plans, including through the design and delivery of tailored training activities on inclusive gender equality in R&I, and the development of an enhanced Community of Practice on gender equality and diversity in R&I organisations, including R&I performing and funding organisations.
  • Provide expert support for the collection of pan-European data on gender equality in R&I and the development of new indicators, including on intersectionality. Collected data should cover information on the uptake and implementation of gender equality plans in EU Member States and Associated countries, and contribute to the She Figures publication.
