Description du projet
Résoudre le problème de l’égalité des genres dans le monde universitaire
Malgré les efforts déployés pour combler l’écart entre les genres dans le monde universitaire, de nombreux défis persistent. Les femmes scientifiques sont sous-représentées au plus haut niveau du monde universitaire. Le projet SPEAR, financé par l’UE, développera des plates-formes d’apprentissage et des arènes destinées à l’échange d’expériences afin de suivre et de soutenir la mise en œuvre des plans d’égalité hommes-femmes (GEP pour «gender equality plans»), qui sont une condition de base pour participer au programme-cadre de recherche Horizon Europe. Les GEP sont des engagements et des actions qui visent à promouvoir l’égalité de genre dans une entreprise. Plus précisément, SPEAR déploiera un guide étape par étape pour la mise en œuvre des GEP, conçu par l’Institut européen pour l’égalité des genres. Il suivra une voie méthodologique engagée vers des changements créatifs, ouverts, atténuants, processuels, responsables, intelligents et durables (les COMPASS de SPEAR).
Objectif
SPEAR will initiate institutional change in nine European research performing organizations (RPOs) by implementing gender equality plans. Despite numerous EU-wide projects aimed at improving gender equality (GE) in academia, challenges persist, and GE practitioners and change agents experience fatigue and lack of support structures. SPEAR offers supportive structures through its interconnected Community of Learning (CoL) and Community of Practice (CoP). CoL will provide learning platforms while CoP provides an arena for experience exchanges. Both are crucial to successful and sustainable implementation of gender equality plans (GEPs), a key instrument to improving GE. SPEAR’s central objective is to support and implement GEPs, based on a step-by-step guide to GEP implementation devised by the European Institute for Gender Equality, through following a methodological path committed to creative, open, mitigating, processual, accountable, SMART and sustainable changes (SPEAR’s COMPASS). Integral to SPEAR’s project design is an enhanced impartial evaluation scheme to boost the feedback and learning of participants throughout the project. SPEAR employs strategic dissemination to boost its central sustainability commitment during and after SPEAR.
SPEAR’s consortium numbers eleven partners, three of which have some experience with GE work while six have little or no experience. The first three will coordinate sessions during CoL and provide crucial support and best-practice guidance during structured interactions in CoP. Two task partners handle evaluation and dissemination. An advisory group representing key GE-stakeholders is affiliated.
SPEAR aims to foster sustainability in GE-practices in academia through a range of measures and outcomes, including ties to other EU-based GE projects, network and community building within and beyond SPEAR, and formulation of practicable policy recommendations.
