Summary
The “EU Award for (Academic) Gender Equality Champions” is a Prize scheme meant as a booster and complement to the requirement for higher education and research organisations applying to Horizon Europe to have in place a Gender Equality Plan (GEP), and a tool for advancing inclusive gender equality plans and policies in the framework of the new ERA policy agenda, as well as an enabler for the transformation agenda for universities set in the new ERA.
Detailed Call Description
The Prize will be awarded to four academic or research organisations.
Sustainable Gender Equality Champions: Organisations that can demonstrate a significant and sustained record of activity and a high level of achievement through the implementation of their GEP.
The prizes will boost public awareness of the importance of addressing gender equality in academic and research organisations through institutional change, incentivise a high degree of commitment to the implementation of inclusive GEPs, and create a community of champions inspiring other academic and research organisations into become gender equality champions themselves.
