Gender Equality Standards for AHMSSBL institutions throughout Europe

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

A closer look at the gender dimension in all fields

Gender equality is one of the EU's founding values. Goals include the promotion of equal economic independence for women and men, closing the gender pay gap, advancing gender balance in decision-making, ending gender-based violence and promoting gender equality beyond the EU. The EU-funded EQUAL4EUROPE project focuses on the fields of art, humanities, medicine, social science, business and law (moving away from the fields of science, technology, engineering and math). Specifically, six research-performing institutions will develop and implement tailored gender equality plans in order to realise sustainable cultural and institutional change. The project will assess the situation and create a network of gender equality officers from the social science fields. The project will also develop free knowledge, tools and best practices.

Objective

The EQUAL4EUROPE consortium consists of six Research Performing Institutions (RPI) with a clear focus on arts, humanities, medicine, social sciences, business and law (AHMSSBL), and two international accreditation organisations (one as full partner, one as associate partner). Whereas in the past, gender equality was especially recognized as an issue by science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) RPIs, it is now also recognized by AHMSSBL institutions. However, information for this type of institutions is not yet widely available. Within this project, we will develop free knowledge, tools and best practices for AHMSSBL institutions related to:
1. Removing barriers to the recruitment, retention and career progression of female researchers;
2. Addressing gender imbalances in decision making processes; and,
3. Integrating the gender dimension in research and innovation content.

More specifically, the six RPIs will develop and implement tailored Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) in order to realize sustainable cultural and institutional change, an impartial (impact) assessment will be developed and executed, and a network for GE officers from AHMSSBL institutions will be established. Since the consortium aims to maximize the impact,
the two accreditation organisations will investigate the possibilities to include the project results into their existing international accreditation frameworks for business schools (with European and global reach). Through their networks, the consortium will be able to reach out to a very large audience.

The partners are all complementary to each other, each contributing specific expertise to the project. This expertise will be effectively used during the project which consist of 8 work packages and has a duration of 48 months.
