GENDER EQUALITY PLAN
The European Commission remains committed to promoting gender equality in research and innovation through its new Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, adopted on 5 March 2026. This renewed strategy builds on the previous framework and reinforces actions to achieve a gender-equal Europe by addressing structural inequalities, promoting equal opportunities, and strengthening gender mainstreaming across all sectors.
The Gender Equality Plan is a document that formalises the association’s gender strategy into measurable objectives and actions. For the period 2024-2026, we are pursuing four main objectives:
- Promoting a gender equality culture among the association’s partners, incoming trainees and network organizations;
- Promoting a gender-sensitive approach in the development of gender sensitive project’s design;
- Promoting a gender sensitive approach in the recruitment and career development of the association’s trainees;
- Promoting integration of work with family and personal life.
The new EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030 also highlights key priorities such as preventing gender-based violence, improving women’s health and well-being, supporting equal participation in leadership and decision-making, ensuring gender-sensitive funding and innovation policies, and engaging men and boys as active partners in achieving equality.
To reach these objectives, we have planned a set of actions and dedicated resources. The plan represents the first step of a long-term strategy for the incoming years. We will periodically review our policy as we reach the objectives mentioned above.
To find out more about the actions we are carrying on, you can download our Gender Equality Plan for 2024-2026. You can also find the letter of commitment in which we pledge to work for a more diverse and inclusive society.
