Plans and initiatives in selected research institutions aiming to stimulate gender equality and enact structural change
Abstract
This report is a deliverable of the GENDER-NET ERA-NET, a pilot transnational research policy initiative funded by the European Commission under the Sciencein-Society work programme of the seventh Framework Programme, designed to address the common challenges still facing the European Research Area in achieving one of its key priorities, gender equality in research institutions and the integration of the gender dimension in research contents.
The present report (GENDER-NET Deliverable Report D2.6) summarises research undertaken to understand the impact of existing national/regional initiatives and award schemes in selected research institutions that aim to stimulate gender equality and enact structural change. It considers whether institutional initiatives can aid the design of national strategies and initiatives,
and identifies successful elements that could be recommended for transnational implementation.
Based on these recommendations, work will be carried out in GENDER-NET to develop transnational initiatives and indicators on structural change. The report provides an overview and analysis of existing institutional gender equality plans, also called gender action plans, (GEPs), central institutional initiatives, decentralised/area-specific institutional initiatives, and summarises the most common and innovative practices (MCIPs), implemented within the framework of existing national/regional initiatives and award schemes.
