Gender Equality Network to Develop ERA Communities To coordinate Inclusive and sustainable policy implementatiON

Project description

Targeting a gender equality research network

Building a more diverse and inclusive research environment is important. The EU-funded GENDERACTIONplus project will support the coordination of gender equality and inclusiveness objectives of the new European Research Area by working together with stakeholders to establish a policy community of practice. By developing and improving strategic policy in key thematic areas and the policy-making process for stakeholders and the public; building capacities and skill for gender equality; and creating impact through communication, dissemination, and exploitation, GENDERACTIONplus will foster the environment needed to enhance research and research careers, increase gender equality, and reduce geographic inequality by engaging countries and regions that have not participated greatly in the past.

Objective

Building on the Horizon 2020 project GENDERACTION, the overall goal of GENDERACTIONplus is to contribute to the coordination of gender equality and inclusiveness objectives of the new European Research Area through the development of a policy community of practice consisting of national authorities from 11 MS and 2 AC and 7 MS Associated partners and an RFO community of practice from 8 MS and 2 AC and 9 Associated partners. The coordination network covers a total of 23 MS and 3 AC with 26 project partners and 18 Associated partners.
Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Develop strategic policy advice on existing and emerging policy solutions in the key thematic areas (intersectionality and inclusiveness; gender-based violence; gender dimension in research, innovation and teaching; monitoring and evaluation of ERA gender equality actions; supporting institutional change through gender equality plans); 2) Enhance the policy-making process through engaging with stakeholders, CSOs and citizens; 3) Build capacities, competence and expertise for gender equality and mainstreaming in R&I among the policy and RFO community members, with special attention to countries with a less comprehensive policy; 4) Create impact through communication, dissemination and exploitation, including national impact plans and an EU impact plan, policy briefs and position papers based on the policy advice developed.
The impact of GENDERACTIONplus will be: 1) Advanced policy coordination among MS and AC and through stakeholder and citizen engagement; 2) Improved research careers and working conditions in European R&I, by developing policy dialogue and solutions on inclusion and intersectionality, combating gender-based violence and promoting institutional changes through GEPs; 3) Increased research quality and social responsibility of knowledge through the integration of gender dimension in R&I; and 4) Reduced geographic inequality by targeting less experienced/engaged countries and regions.
