Targeting key areas
We work to increase women's participation in research and innovation by improving their career prospects, increasing gender balance in decision-making bodies at research organisations, and including gender dimensions in research content & teaching. Our Gender Equality Plans also include actions to improve work-life balance and prevent gender-based violence.

Raising awareness about gender-based violence and sexual harassment among leadership in their organisations, ensuring there are sufficient support structures in place, and committing to stopping this behaviour.
Our approach
We promote gender equality on structural and cultural level of research organisations by fixing the system, not the women. Examining gender imbalances, designing gender equality plans for sustainable change, and monitoring and evaluating the progress we make.
