Objective GENOVATE is an action-research project based on the implementation of Gender Equality Action Plans (GEAPs) in six European universities. It brings together a consortium with diverse experience with gender equality mainstreaming approaches, with varying institutional and disciplinary backgrounds and located in different national contexts. All, however, share common challenges for women engaged in research and all have identified three common areas for intervention: (i) recruitment, progression and research support; (ii) working environment, work-life balance and institutional culture, and finally, (iii) the increasingly important domain of standards and diversity in research excellence and innovation. Each partner university will address these areas through their individually tailored GEAPs that will build on existing structures and policies where relevant, or develop new systems and practices where appropriate. This contextualised approach will be supported by an ongoing knowledge-exchange system within the consortium and by ongoing participatory evaluation, both of which will maximise the shared learning of all partners at every step of the process. An ePortfolio system will allow individual experiences, challenges and thoughts to be documented and collated throughout the implementation process and this will inform the main deliverables of the projects: a social model of gender equality implementation and guidelines tailored to different actors and different contexts highlighting the issues, the challenges and the approaches that work. Dissemination of the outcomes will be shaped by a communications strategy for learning within the institutions, within national learning circles with key stakeholders and, internationally, through networking, media and publication activities. The long-term impact of the project will also be felt within the partner universities: the implementation of the GEAPs involves sustainability strategies for each institution to ensure that ther Programme(s) FP7-SIS - Specific Programme "Capacities": Science in society Topic(s) SiS.2012.2.1.1-1 - Ensuring equal opportunities for women and men by encouraging a more gender-aware management in research and scientific decision-making bodies Call for proposal FP7-SCIENCE-IN-SOCIETY-2012-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CSA-SA - Support actions Coordinator UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD Address Richmond road BD7 1DP Bradford United Kingdom See on map Region Yorkshire and the Humber West Yorkshire Bradford Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Uduak Archibong (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 792 085,00 Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK - NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, CORK Ireland EU contribution € 395 154,00 Address Western road T12 YN60 Cork See on map Region Ireland Southern South-East Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Caitriona Ni Laoire (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window LULEA TEKNISKA UNIVERSITET Participation ended Sweden EU contribution € 360 010,00 Address Universitetsomradet porson 971 87 Lulea See on map Region Norra Sverige Övre Norrland Norrbottens län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Paula Wennberg (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ANKARA UNIVERSITESI Türkiye EU contribution € 142 436,00 Address Dogol caddesi 06100 Tandogan ankara See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Ciler Dursun (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI NAPOLI FEDERICO II Italy EU contribution € 298 645,00 Address Corso umberto i, 40 80138 Napoli See on map Region Sud Campania Napoli Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Guglielmo Tamburrini (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window TRNAVSKA UNIVERZITA V TRNAVE Slovakia EU contribution € 86 247,00 Address Hornopotocna 23 918 43 Trnava See on map Region Slovensko Západné Slovensko Trnavský kraj Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Monica O'mullane (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Spain EU contribution € 125 755,00 Address Avenida de seneca 2 28040 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Maribel Rodríguez Villa (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window
