An agreement on the terminology, i.e. concepts/terms and their definitions to be used within PLOTINA Consortium (and the specific references) will be provided

Policy Brief on Approaches, Strategies and Practices to forward Gender Equality in Research Organizations and Research Programmes

An executive summary policy brief will be prepared to inform the key actors at institutional level, as well as policy makers and policy-delivery services, about the successful and critical approaches, strategies and practices to implement Gender Equality in RPOs at the starting stage.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (2)

PLOTINA online database to be updated

An online database, intended as a repository of PLOTINA outcomes and results, will be created. This database will include : i) Actions already undertaken by RPOs partners and the GEPs available in the public domain in Europe; ii) the online Library of Actions and the Case Studies; iii) the PLOTINA Good Practice Guide accompanied by a formative toolkit; iv) a -version of the monitoring software and a final version together with a complete methodology for impartially monitoring.

Final Library of Actions with reflections and feedback from RPOs and on-line publication of the final version of the Good Practice Guide

The final Library of Actions and the Good Practice Guide will constitute the final outputs reporting the methods, the Actions, the timing and the problems faced by the PLOTINA RPOs for projecting and implementing their GEPs. This on-line publications will be the basis for GEPs implementation in academic institutions outside the PLOTINA Consortium

PLOTINA Formative Toolkit

The formative toolkit is a practical guidebook/tool for the consultation and use of the Good Practice Guide for RPOs at the starting stage. The toolkit will be an easy and iconic schematization of the processes and actions undertaken in the GEP design and implementation and it will be specifically linked to the different chapters of the Good Practice Guide.
