Promoting gender balance and inclusion in research, innovation and training

Based on a peer-reviewed evaluation, the final report will provide information about the progress made by PLOTINA RPOs during the project. It will be structured to assess the GEPs implementation, in terms of Actions and impacts, and it will be presented and discussed at the final PLOTINA conference.

A communication and dissemination plan will be agreed by all Partners at the kick-off Meeting in Bologna. It will include the set of actions necessary for achieving the objectives and the relevant deadlines. An updated or confirmed Plan for the Exploitation and Dissemination of Results in both the periodic and final reports, explaining how achieved results are exploited and disseminated.

A report of the discussion workshop on the inclusion of sex/gender variables in the guides for authors and in the calls for papers issued by the scientific journals will be provided. The report will also include examples of guide for authors including gender/sex variables for STEM journals.

Short briefs about gender-aware Case Studies, developed by RPOs, will be published on the website as part of the PLOTINA Library of Actions and will be collected in a single publication.

Collection and analysis of Actions already undertaken by RPOs partners and GEPs available of public domain in Europe and list of key individuals identified by each Partner and members (organization charts) of the Gender Audit Teams (M3) This critical review of the Actions that have already implemented in European RPOs (Departmental and at Institutional level), will identify successful examples for the GEPs inclusion and implementation.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
