Within the first reporting period, all work packages have started, two of them are already finished.
Within WP2 the project management structure has been set up, three project meetings (in Vienna, Barcelona and Krakow) took place. All official requirements have been fulfilled. WP3 had a duration of 7 months and was finished within that time frame. As a result, tailor-made GEPs for each of the 4 implementing RPOs were developed. These GEPs serve as a basis for the upcoming WPs. WP4, WP5, WP6 have all started on time and the first results – baseline documentations – were produced (see the resp. deliverables). WP7 deals with the RFO-perspective, preliminary work was conducted, and the first RFO-observer group meeting took place. Within WP8 all trainings were developed, some of them have already taken place. Furthermore, a help desk consisting of skype, face-to-face consultancy as well as remote supporting documents was implemented, which is continuously adapted to the partners’ needs. Within WP9 dissemination activities on both, national as well as European level, have been carried out. WP10 developed monitoring templates and the evaluation concept was developed.
Within the second reporting period, the work on all WPs has been continued.
Under WP4, WP 5 and WP 6 all RPOs have started actions at a different degree of achievement, depending on the context, the starting point and some changes occurred in the previous months (e.g. new elections and renewal of decision-making bodies at UNIRC and UPC; new legal framework at PK). All 4 RPOs have further worked on their Gender Equality Plans (GEP).
Within WP7 a RFO-network (including 2 partners and 5 observer group members) has been set up and several workshops and exchange formats to share knowledge and tools for enhancing the gender dimension in RFOs’ programmes and services have been carried out so far.

Within the third working period, all WPs have been conducted as foreseen in the DoA. No major deviations occurred.

Under WP4 all RPOs have reached a different degree of achievement, depending on the context, the starting point and the Covid-19 situation that has presented all partners with new challenges (e.g. new statute and new rector at PK).
WP5 took a look on the RPOs activities concerning female visibility and came up with a comprehensive report on that activities at all RPO partners.
