Support to the implementation of inclusive gender equality plans

Summary

The institutional change strategy implemented through gender equality plans has had very positive impacts in many research organisations and been a catalyser at national and EU level, as the latest ERA progress report has shown. However, there is a heterogeneity in the implementation of Gender Equality Plans across the EU, and persisting structural barriers in R&I institutions which must be addressed, through a renewed approach.

Detailed Call Description

Proposals are expected to address the following:

  • Methods for exchanging and implementing good practices and materials, tailored to individual organisations’ needs for the development of inclusive GEPs;
  • Support for reinforcing their networking in the area of gender equality and inclusiveness, especially with already existing Communities of Practice;
  • Activities such as on-site visits, on-site or virtual training; workshops; dissemination and outreach and capacity building activities.
  • Implementation of specific actions in the less advanced institutions specifically addressing the opening to intersectionality and diversity, including in the integration of intersectional sex and gender analysis into R&I content.

The partners involved in the twinning exercise are expected to revolve either around a specific thematic area or have widening partners with similar national/regional background for a better contextualization.
